| | Will's POVRay stuff |
 | | POVRay could also lighten its memory footprint in this manner, loading the necessary components only when they are needed, and unloading them when their task is complete. | | | This is known in the current POVRay source tree as the tokenizer, and it only needs to retrieve tokens from the current file, and return the appropriate token value. | | | The only dangerous part about this approach is that two objects can use the same keyword, and declare them with different token values, resulting in undefined behaviour for one of the objects. |

| | POVRAY (Persistence of Vision RAYtracer) is a high-quality tool for creating three-dimensional graphics. | | | Some Povray input files produce thousands of warnings and create huge log files, in which case the -gw flag is very useful. | | | Use Povscript, a version of Molscript that can create Povray input files. |

| | lf48, Graphics: Povray II: Basic Notions |
| | Had we configured Povray for SVGA then we could see that it is possible to view the image as it is being computed. | | | This is due in part to the genesis of Povray, the actual syntax of Povray has profoundly changed from version to version. | | | The most common output format for Povray is TGA 24 bits, which is constructed precisely in that order. |

| | Simple.: Xgrid example: Parallel graphics rendering in POVray |
| | POVray is great but has a few quirks and partial rendering is one of them: the generated files are corrupted graphics files. | | | We need to run from /opt/local/share/povray-3.5/ since povray needs access to all sorts of files that are stored in that directory. | | | Since the output files get created at the very end of the job (when all of the tasks are done), you don't see any output until the end. |

| | The Povray setup process is useful to make the "include" files and library accessible, to configure the graphic card, to define input and output file formats and many other features. | | | It is possible to use environment variables, but it is more practical to create a config file *.ini with all you need. | | | My concept of computer science is based on the notion that although pure technologies can help us to obtain images with high realism, nevertheless artistic value does not equal realism nor technology itself. |

| | Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Povray Persistence of Vision Raytracer at Epinions.com |
| | POVRay takes the camera position you provide and shoots rays of light, one for each pixel in your image, backwards from the camera onto the objects you position in front of the camera. | | | POVRay applies laws of optical physics to a scene you create to produce an image. | | | So it is with POVRay: over time you master language and technique and begin to express yourself with visual fluency not possible with anything other than industrial strength software (read: very expensive, high-end, commercial packages like Maya). |

| | Parallel rendering using POVRAY on a computer farm |
| | Given a number of computers and a demanding POVRAY scene to render, there are a number of techniques to distribute the rendering among the available resources. | | | The usual way to render such scenes on a collection of computers is to split the final image up into pieces, rendering each piece on a different computer and sticking the pieces together at the end. | | | If the whole image is 800 x 600 say and we render row 100 to 119, the PPM file should have the dimensions in its header state that the file is 800 x 20. |

| | POV-Ray: Newsgroups: povray.general: Can I bake UV textures with Povray? |
| | It would certainly be a useful feature for times when you want to animate a mesh and have the texture remain static on it, yet still have textured it procedurally. | | | A typical uv map takes its coordinates from <0,0> to <1,1>, so rendering an orthographic view of the <0,0,0>,<1,1,0> area of plane{z,0} textured with the desired procedural pigment or normal should create a bitmap version of that pigment or normal, usable for uv mapping. | | | I'd use Renderman but the current Wings->Renderman exporter won't let me have different textures on different faces of an object, while the Povray exporter will, and that's something I'd like to use if at all possible ;-) |
