I'm ashamed to admit, but I have got stuck in a quite simple Maths problem. It's all about an implementation of the basic formula y=kx+m, but somehow I have managed to think the wrong way. Luckily, I made problems like this in a glanse back in (...) (19 years ago, 4-Feb-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) True, but IFNOTPOV produces "if(0)" statements that can very easily be replaced by "if(-1)" and all the commented out tracks will be uncommented again. I find that easier than copy and paste camera positions. /Tore (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Everything inside IFNOTPOV won't show up in the POV file at all, so that would still require two passes (one with IFNOTPOV to generate the camera, and one without to have the correct scene). --Travis (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
