I was thinking of that. I tried it briefly the other night but I must have had a different aspect ratio, because the rendering appeared far outside the ship. I’m getting up to speed on POV-Ray, though, so I’ll definitely try it again.

The aspect ratio shouldn’t make enough of a difference to put the camera out of the ship. It should only change the cropping. If you have the same aspect ratio, you should should get nearly pixel-perfect alignment of all polygons that don’t involve reflection or refraction. I’m not sure if this is a Mac-specific bug, or if you did something that I haven’t done in my testing on Windows. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about:

(...) You're right - it does work. I retried it with L3P output and the view is positioned correctly. My previous effort used POV-Ray code from Anton's converter. That's not necessarily the reason it didn't work before, though: it was late and I was (...) (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
