I'm working on an improved method for having a particle negotiate an
obstacle course.
Can anyone point me to the algorithm used for sending out rays in
raytracing?
Say I have a vector Vector1, which is the camera equivalent of look_at
- location, or the current velocity of my intelligent particle.
How does pov send out an array of say 40 x 30 or 160 x 120 pixels within
a certain angle?

Just look in the Suggested Reading section near the end of the POV-Ray user
manual.

Yes, there are about 13 books there. I suppose I could buy them all or see if
it's covered in the one or two that I've already bought.
