Default Re: Pov-Ray Help

To use it just to render your pictures, nothing fancy, look at where you downloaded PovRay in your directorys, then go into AC3D, click on Tools > Render then in the Render Program line you want to find where you installed PovRay. (From my computer) C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.6\bin\pvengine.exe // You want to link it to the pvengine.exe, then click close.

You will want your the 3d window selected and the arrange the model how you want to see it rendered as well. Next time you want to render just hit F7 or go to the Tools > Render tab.

The program will automatically create a picture of your render, you will find it in you AC3D directory on your drive. If you do alot of renders you may wish to move these pics or check the Pov Ray site on how to set up the Pov Ray .ini file to set a directory for the pictures to drop into.
