I've read the description of how povray processes images, and I think I 
know the answer for this, but I want to make sure before I embark on a 
large project.

I am in the process of generating a room (actually a captains quarters 
on a old sailing boat).  The plan is to generate a series of animations 
using this room, although right now I'm just working on making the room. 
  As you may imagine the room is somewhat complex (table, sextant, 
couple of oil lamps, bulkheads, etc).

My question is, when I render does povray ignore the features out of the 
view of the camera?  I've set up most of the objects as macro's, so it's 
easy enough to remove what I don't need for each scene, but I'm 
wondering if that's a waste of my time.

Thanx

Bryan
