I don't quite understand what you are saying.  Are you:

a) Going to make a real-time animation in openGL with a POV rendered image
as a background or for other textures.

or

b) Going to attempt to make an identical-looking image in OpenGL and POV,
and show them both at the same time? (maybe in split screen)

FYI I posted a comparison of a reflective sphere over checkered plane in
both POV and OpenGL a while back (it might have been in the off-topic group
though, can't remember).  Let me know if you are interested, because I also
am working on DirectX at the same time as POV.
