The official GUI version also works from command line to render an image
directly.

If you have the PATH set to the PoV-Ray binary directory, try:
   pvengine /render <YourFileName>.pov /exit
or simpler and more familiarly:
   pvengine -i <YourFileName>.pov /exit

otherwise:
  "<YourFullPath>\pvengine" -i <YourFileName>.pov /exit

Add to that the command line switches you normally send.
Eg. "-h 600 -w 800 +ft"

As well as the render window, it will display its GUI while the render is
running.  But that shouldn't be a problem, as the /exit switch causes it to
terminate when the render's over.
