 | | Trouble with POV 3.5 —Ronald Scott Moody
|
| | | Is anyone else having trouble getting POV-Ray 3.5 to work? I got some sort of error about macros in the colors.inc file. What does that mean and is there something I can do to fix it. In the meantime, I have just gone back to 3.1. (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | | | | (...) Yeah, it has something to do with POV-Ray switching "versions" before loading colors.inc. I tried to delete the lines but didn't help much. Think Lars has to change the code in L3P a bit. I also expierenced errors in MegaPOV after installing (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | | | | | | <snip> (...) Why are we trying to use Pov 3.5? What is computer user's *NEED* to have the latest and greatest? Does Pov 3.5 provide the LDraw rendering community anything NEW that 3.1 did not? Why go thru all the headaches of learning 3.5 when 3.1 (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | | | | | | | | | (...) Since the release of POV 3.5, there seems to be a general re-writing of history as people delete their MegaPOV-specific pages. Most of my MegaPOV tutorial links are 404'ing now. Looking on the bright side, the state of documentation can never (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | | | | | | | (...) I have found 3.5 to be almost twice as fast as 3.1 with the same files - tested on a PII, P3 and P4. Most incompatabilities can be removed with the version directive. (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | | | | | | (...) Unfortunately, the POV dev team has a history of breaking backwards compatability in their revisions. Think back to how they mutilated the halo feature of 3.0 when they introduced media in 3.1. Their goal is to force everyone to use the latest (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
