I've downloaded Megapov and plugged in the extra code but all I get is a black image. For that matter, I get a black image for every file I run that has MegaPov enabled. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. -Orion (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) There is a random number generator in the previous POV-Ray version, so I suppose there is one in the latest as well. I've used it several times, albeit mainly for animations. Fredrik (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi All! Is there a way in POV-Ray 3.5 to create an object that appears within a range of coordinates but at random coordinates each time a scene is rendered? Thanks for any insights you care to provide. Dave! (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi all, A few days after my post about MegaPov 0.7 a new version was released, compatible with POV-Ray 3.5. So to a certain point that post was a bit pointless. I have downloaded MegaPov 1.0 (MP1.0) for both Macintosh and Windows but only tested it (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi all, Forget my last post about MegaPov 0.7, yesterday MegaPov 1.0 was announced (see: (URL) )! And it is compatible with POV-Ray 3.5. Hopefully it is still as fast as version 0.7. Jeroen (22 years ago, 1-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi Jeroen - This looks great! I plugged it into MegaPOV and replaced my color definitions in a POV file with your code. MegaPOV is having a hard time understanding your statements: #if (BUMPS) normal { BUMPNORMAL } #end Any tips? Thanks!! -Tim (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
