I am working on some tutorials about camera projections in
POV-Ray and MegaPov, and I think I have a pretty good
understanding of them, but I wanted to double check my facts
against the source code. I downloaded the code and I can't
seem to find the information regarding the actual
projections and how the individual rays are traced. All I am
looking for is the how the vectors of each "ray" is
organized by the camera projection.

A sample of what I'm doing can be seen at:

Thanks for any direction you guys can give me. I gave up
programming a long time ago for various reasons, but I was
hoping that I'd make some sense of the source code.

You want the create_ray function in render.c.

Thanks, Ron. This is exactly what I was looking for.
