peeeto Member	posted March 19, 2001 06:38 PM POV-Ray is an excellent program (it's a ray-tracing program w/ lotsa features - you describe a 3-d scene in a text file using the easy-to-learn POV scene language - you can even do animations). best of all it's free!. Blender would work well also (probably more robust & more worthwhile to learn than POV, although i think it's more difficult). try openfx as well! IP:

coax Administrator	posted April 06, 2001 01:05 PM can you guys tell me an easy one to learn with? ------------------ TM Bios IP:
peeeto Member	posted April 06, 2001 04:09 PM POV is easy, but takes a little reading/learning. after learning POV and now getting into Blender, i suggest that you get & learn Blender - much more powerful & relevant. spend the $$$ on the manual if you can, or go through the many, many tutorials. also, search Blenders discussion forums for "hotkey" - that will help you IP:
woj New Member	posted April 06, 2001 08:36 PM hmmm POV? Whats that? I know blender but but but.. whats pov plz tell me what it is and does. IP:
peeeto Member	posted April 06, 2001 09:43 PM POV-Ray is a freeware ray-tracing program. check out www.povray.org it has it's own text-based scene language, easy to learn, and the windows interface makes things more easy. but, Blender, IMHO, is superior because of its modeller and real-time animation. POV is a useful tool, though, it's very powerful & interesting IP:
coax Administrator	posted April 07, 2001 02:43 PM I'm downloading POV now, can those that have used POV help me out if i have Qs. ------------------ TM Bios IP:
Dreamer Member	posted April 07, 2001 07:21 PM If you want to get started, maybe go look for moray, a modeller designed specifically for povray. it's free or shareware, if I remember right. It cannot, of course, unleash the full power of the povray language. IP:
coax Administrator	posted April 07, 2001 11:17 PM how do i run the pov tutorial? ------------------ TM Bios IP:
peeeto Member	posted April 08, 2001 11:57 AM coax - it's been too long since i've used POV, but i will try. there is an excellent mailing list that you can join, too. POV tutorial... is that a separate executable than the POV program? the only tutorials i know of are in the POV documentation... it helped me to print the documentation out. (note: i printed the documentation once... formatted the page to print landscape, font was 5pts i think, and printed 2 columns on each page. the printout is an inch thick!!! don't let that scare you, though. POV isn't that hard to learn, and like i said, the windows program helps alot.) IP:
