- Has anyone managed to make POV v1.0 work under windows? I
- tried setting up a PIF with as much as four megs of XMS memory, and
- compatible data. I ran CTDS on the result. Then, I put the file
- through the dat2pov converter to get it to a usable format for POV
- 1.0. It is at this point that I get stuck. I don't know what I
- should do next -- have the CTDS file as an "include" file as a part of
- another file, or go ahead and put the lightsource/camera declarations
- in the CTDS file. In other words, what do you do once you have a good
- CTDS conversion to make the raytracer "see" the object. I am ending
- up with lots of black even though I am pretty certain my manually
- imput lightsource declaration is there. My problem, I think, is that
- I am not declaring the WHOLE CTDS object as an object or something.
- What should I do? Snippets of code or even whole .pov files
- illustrating what procedure I should follow would be appreciated (I
- did try looking at NTREAL and others, but it still didn't make sense.
- )
