Linux POV-Ray users,

     Maybe this isn't news, but I found a neat way to use 'x-povray'
under Window Maker or any other decent window manager.

     I use GNU Emacs for X11 to edit a file called current.pov, which is
the current project I am working on.  Then using WPrefs I setup some
popups that use the following syntax:

x-povray +Icurrent.pov +Ocurrent.tga +W320 +H240 +A0.3 +D

This renders current.pov at 320x240 with 0.3 anti-aliasing and pops up a
window showing it render.  I then made a bunch of these popups with
different resolutions and options so I can literally have one click for
a fast render of what I'm working on.  

P.S.

I couldn't get POV-Motif working (running RedHat 5.1 kernel 2.0.36),
anyone know of a good X11/GUI modeller or front end?  If so, please
e-mail me at aar### [at] usanet  --  I am slowly but surely working on
a nice raytracing site which will include lots of Linux raytracing
resources!
