Jsut a question, does the superpatch or Dos version of povray support a larger stacj
than
the windows 3.1a ???
I've come to a point in a scene where I need a ridiculously high max_trace_level...
something like 25000

Hah :) Sorry, I couldn't help laughing... that would take an
incredible time to render. Are you placing mirrors facing
each other or something like that ? :)

  AFAIK povray crashes even with a very low max_trace_level (such as 100
or lower), so the problem is real.
  I wonder why they didn't link a bigger stack... It's just one command
line parameter to the watcom linker...

Noo, I'm grouping 10000 reflective and filtering spheres in a group.... If it is lower
than 2*amount_of_spheres it just goes black in the center... *sigh*

With POV for Linux it should work ...

  AFAIK in UNIX you can limit the stack size by yourself and all programs
use all the available stack.

pikkusirkku:~>limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        unlimited
stacksize       2047MB
coredumpsize    0kB
descriptors     1024
vmemorysize     unlimited


  Hmm... 2G stacksize should be enough for anyone... :)

Only problem I have is that I can't get linux to run here..
I need a new hdd for that.... And I figured it would be cheaper to get a new build of
POV.

I just get the feeling I _NEED_ a new hdd...

Anyone care to "lend" me one ;-)
I'd prefer a 12Gb ibm drive but.... *laugh*
