Hello,
    Is it possible to read the mouse position and rotate the scene as a 
function of the mouse position? I have a really nice scene that renders 
quickly but I would like to see several perspective views.

Thanks,
Tim

As far as I know, it's not possible. POV-Ray "ships" with no GUI, it is all
scripted, and hence, different camera perspectives have to be handcoded. I'm
not quiet sure if there are external apps that may help you with this
though.

Regards,
Tim
