I need a way to ouput the things I am rendering to Png, JPG, GIf, ETC files
that are readbale by web browsers.  I have gone over the Help File and have
not been able to find a way to get it to output to these files.  I am using
AC3D to do the aactual modeling work then sending the .pov file that
creates through pov-ray.  When I send it through pov-ray i get 0 errors.  I
see the rendered ersion appear on screen and his has left me desperate
enough that for the literally 1000's of images me and some friends are
building i have begun to take screenshots of the rendering and use PAINT to
cut out the peice i want.  This is incredibly time ineffiecient.

I would like someone to p[lease give me the exact peice of code i need to
put in the commandline [all of it] to get the result in JPG or PNG format.

And exaple file name is : bi_leg_001.[EXT]

Please Help

Chris

You did not read enough the help file.
For PNG output, +FN is your friend.
Jpeg is bad for renderer!

there is no need to take a screenshot. povray can write the image to disk. I
think it does this by default. however the output format is platform
dependent. there is much detail in the povray documentation on command line
options, output options, etc... my typical command line to invoke povray is
to produce a 640x480 png named my_output.png is:

 povray +Imy_povfile.pov +Omy_output.png +FN +W640 +H480 +P

povray won't output directly to jpg. it can output png, however they are not
compressed much. you would still want to use a program like paintshop pro,
or something for postprocessing and compression or conversion.

You should really have read the Window version's Getting Started section in
the help file.  In general a "Getting Started" section usually contains such
useful information as where to find the rendered images.  It happens to tell
you that the default output will be a Windows BMP file and that by default
there is always an image written to disk.  It should also have been
absolutely obvious that a screen-capture is not the recommended way of
getting images.

Not to mention that there is the "File Output Options" section in the
reference part of the general documentation.  And said section comes up in
search as the very first result at least when searching for "image", "output
image", "output file" or "save image" (without quotes, of course)!  So you
obviously did not search in the help file at all.

It takes time. Read through the tutorial in the help, and do the examples.
Also, if you are running Windows, then you can add command line options in
one of the text entry fields(i think), and then just click run. reading up
on using .ini files in the help is good too. it saves a lot of command line
typing or switching settings everytime.
