Hi guys. I'm a glaring newbie here when it comes to scripting for Povray,
but so far I'm really liking it. I've run across a tad bit of a difficult
problem though. What I am trying to do is figure out an easy way to
position the text string straight ahead of the camera (as if that was your
focal point), so that it can easily be read (and changed if necessary). The
problem is, with the camera angle as such, I'm finding it near about
impossible to line up the text correctly. Anybody have any ideas on how
this can be done?
Any suggestions are appreciated...
