Instructions on installation.
-----------------------------
POV-ray reads a script describing a scene, in the script there may be
references to other files eg. colors.inc or picture.gif
In the original POV-ray code, they were usually kept in an 'include'
directory, so they could be found easily. As the Archimedes does not
make use of filenames with extentions (.xxx), this became a problem
as the scripts had to be hand edited to remove the extention and give
the full path to where the files were.
I have modified the source code (and notified the POV-ray team - should
be included in the next release or so), therefore no modification to
the scripts are necessary. What happens now is when POV-ray is interpreting
the script, it sees any file reference eg. 'colors.inc' as 'inc.colors'
therefore inc should be a directory containing a file called colors.
!POVscene has the directory structure set up for you, so all
you have to do it double click on !POVscene and it will set up
and open the filer window with everything in.
You can change the default options in !Run if you don't like the
way I've set it up, and you may like to put the executable in you
Library directory.
If you have an FPA in your machine you may like to try the pov2ylib
version as it does run some things a bit faster.
Any feedback is welcome, and if you create some good scenes let me know :-)
Happy Ray Tracing.
Adam Hamilton.
