Enter a number here (from 0.0 to 1.0) that determines the threshold of anti-aliasing. The closer to 0.0, the more anti-aliasing is done, the better the image looks, and the longer it takes to render. See the +A option.
Click here to toggle “anti-aliasing” of the image. Although the rendering can take much longer when this is on, the final image is much nicer looking, with fewer jagged edges.
Anti-aliasing is currently On.

Anti-aliasing is currently Off.
Click here to pick how much detail to work into the scene. Lower numbers are lower quality, but faster to render. 9 is highest quality. See the +Q option.
Enter the bottom scanline, or ending row, of the image you want to render (in pixels.)
Only enter a number here if you want to render a partial image. See the +ER option.
Enter the top scanline, or starting row, of the image you want to render (in pixels.)
Only enter a number here if you want to render a partial image. See the +SR option.
Enter the total height of the image you want to render (in pixels.) This number can be from 1 to 4096. See the +H option.
Enter the total width of the image you want to render (in pixels.) This number can be from 1 to 4096. See the +W option.
This is the name of the Source file to which these options apply.

The ray tracer encountered an error while parsing your source file. It could be out of memory, a typo in your file, or something else. The Status window should have slightly more information.
This pesky dialog is just telling you that the rendering has finished successfully. You can now save your picture.
This progress bar shows approximately how much of the Virtual Screen Image Buffer has been created. When the bar has completely filled the area, the Virtual Image buffer will be created, and this dialog will vanish.
This progress window appears when POV-Ray is low on memory and must create a Virtual Image Buffer for the Image window. The progress bar below gives an idea of approximate percentage completion.
This dialog is just reminding you that you turned on the “Auto Shutdown” option in the Render menu. When the rendering is complete, the Macintosh power will be shut down.
You can turn this option back off at any time.
This is the volume and folder path that POV-Ray looks in for any #include files. To change it, press the “Set Include Path” button.
Click here to tell POV-Ray where to find your include files. When the standard file dialog appears, find and choose any one of the “.INC” include files.
Select one of these items to tell POV-Ray how to notify you when it finishes rendering the scene or scenes. It can either beep, display a dialog, or do both.

Select these to set how hard POV-Ray works to the exclusion of other applications. The higher the number the faster it works.

This dialog accepts application-wide preferences, and saves them in a POV-Ray Prefs file.
Sorry, that's about all we can do for now, is tell you why we cannot run. The source code to POV-Ray is available, and you can easily recompile it to not require a 68020 or an FPU. 32 bit ColorQD is harder, but possible.

This is an error number related to the problem.
This is a specific description of what happened.
Something quite unexpected happened here. Hopefully the dialog gives you an idea of what happened, and what to do. Often this has to do with increasing the application memory size.
Gives a rough estimate of how far along the memory reclamation process is.
The first pass (first 3/4) removes any “already freed” items, the second pass (last 1/4) then frees the remaining items.
when POV-Ray is reclaiming memory from the previous render, so it can be re-used for this render. The progress bar below gives an idea of approximate percentage completion.
There was some kind of error during the rendering process. Hopefully the message in the Status window will help explain what happened.

You deserve better performance than this! Get the POVMAC archive which has the FPU version of POV-Ray.
You probably have an older version of QuickTime in your System:Extensions folder. Ask your local Apple Dealer for a free update of QuickTime.
