povray

 

Q: How do I use povray to test my nodes

A: First start pvm

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# pvm
pvm> quit

Console: exit handler called
pvmd still running

root@ttyp0[knoppix]# cd /ramdisk ; povray -i /usr/share/doc/povray/povscn/level2/skyvase.pov \
> +v1 +ft -x +a0.300 +r3 -q9 -mv2.0 -w1600 -h1200 -d +NT16

NOTE: the \ at the end of the line is for clarity so it is easier to read on the shell and unnecessary

Q: Povray segfaults!

A: Yes I know, but it segfaults after rendering the picture, the latest version of
povray will be included once I got it to work together with PVM
