- Persistence of Vision Raytracer
- Version 1.0 Caveats....
- --------------------------------
- This new version looks really good and stable. We've got a great program
- here! Of course, in any major program there are almost certainly
- a few little problems. Known problems and work arounds are listed below.
-
- If you experience problems leave a message to the POV-Team in the Compuserve
- Graphics area, Raytracing forum (!GO COMART) section 16. We'll do our best
- to help you out!
-
- Known problems:
- ----------------
- -Not a problem, but a warning that syntax has changed. Be careful that
- you are using the new syntax correctly. Light sources in particular
- are very different.
- -Bezier patch type 2 does not work with certain flatness values.
- -Certain quartics, polys, blobs don't render correctly
- when rotated or translated. Try using the "sturm" keyword.
- -Often cryptic error messages. Improved a bit in this version.
- -When using some compilers, the source will generate warnings during
- compile.
- This is normal. We did not try to remove every single warning for
- every possible computer. Please report warnings only if they are
- relevant to a possible error.
