hmm, so there goes my suggestion, because what if you liked wip 3 better
than wip 15? If you decided to render wip 3 in a high quality setting, you
probably lost all the original details from the original scene... :)
of course, you could probably use some version control system like cvs or
svn, but I think it's too much for pov scenes...

That's more than my program was meant to handle.

Hmm, there's got to be a decent versioning system that's built for
single-user use. I might have to look into that.

cvs was built on rcs, which might be what your're looking for.

If you don't mind the command line, I'd suggest Mercurial. The
advantages for this kind of usage is that it stores all its data in
a subfolder. Typical usage would be:
> hg init
> hg addremove
> hg commit
... Work on your files
> hg commit
...

CVS and SVN are absolutely usable in single-user small projects.

I've never actually set up a CVS/SVN server, so I don't know how hard it
is. My suspicion is that it's going to be overly complicated for this,
especially for Windows users.
Still, once its set up, SVN would be fantastic. CVS would probably be
pretty good too, since the horrible bandwidth sucking wouldn't be so bad
on a local machine. :-P

You don't need a server for Subversion, it can access a repository
directly in the file system.
"Especially for Windows users", there is TortoiseSVN
<http://tortoisesvn.net/> (IMHO the best GUI Subversion client I've seen
on any platform - too bad there is nothing that comes close on Mac OS
X). I believe it also does repository creation and maintenance (what
you'd use "svnadmin" rather than "svn" on the command line), though I've
never used that.
I've never used SVN for a POV project, but then I haven't done much
POVing at all lately - if I were to start a big project now, I'd
certainly use it.

I did not know that.
Hmm. There is a Subversion plugin for Eclipse. Suddenly PovClipse looks
a lot more interesting.

You know you've been raytracing too long when you try to compress a
mandelbrot landscape made of spheres just to 4 lines of pov code.

I just noticed a program called "Tinker" under p.b.utilities:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.utilities/thread/%3C42ea075c@news.povray.org%3E/
It's Windows-only, but does exactly what I think you're looking for.

And that is also true for CVS: you only need to create a directory and "cvs
init" on it. The corresponding command for Subversion is something like
"svnadmin create file:///some/directory".
