'''Bob ray tracer scene description''' refers to the format used for input by the ''Bob'' ray tracer software by Stephen B. Coy.

We could not find any freely-available information about this format. It may be similar to [[Vivid scene description]].

Bob was apparently written for the book ''Photorealism and Ray Tracing in C'', by Watkins, Coy, and Finlay. It may be essentially a stripped-down version of ''Vivid''. Its source code was included with the book, but is apparently only available to owners of the book.

Bob's output format is [[Bob ray tracer bitmap]].
