Hi Travis,
I've finally picked up the povray export project again, You were right I
needed to calculate the horizontal fov from the vertical one used in OpenGL.
Also you may be interested in knowing that I now also have a basic
"hierarchical compositions" export in place (no lgeo, no primitive
substitutions (yet)). And it seems the mesh2 approach, i used before, is
about 15-20% faster on bigger models. So I keep that option in the final
version for faster test runs.
