You will get an illegal instruction exception, but I will make a version
that run's just with 3D!Now. Second, the 50% improvement was the minimum, I
had up to 180%.

I really would like EXACTLY what you modified. May be these improvements can
be put back also in std. POVRay.

P.S.: next week I will get a 1GHz Athlon + 512MB of RAM + 30GB of HD. I
think it will be an adequate POVray machine, won't it? ;-)

I don't have a website, but I can e-mail PovRay optimized for 3D!Now ( you
need just 3D!Now ) or the sourcefiles I have changed everyone who is
interested. I think I will make a version of PovRay optimized for SSE
(Pentium III), but first check the feadback for PovRay & 3D!Now.

I would be interested in both source and windows executable if you have.

I change some things in the optimization, so you just need 3D!Now.

How do i find out if i have 3D!now?

Look for a green and black sticker on your case that says "AMD Athlon"

The K6-2 and K6-3 processors also have 3DNow!.

I have tested it on my K6-2 500 but it crashed as soon as i used any
transformations (rotate/translate/scale)
An simple scene worked though and i made some short quite synthetic
benchmark containing a lot of reflection and refraction:
3D!Now compile: 9min, 2sec
povray 3.1g: 7min, 59sec
megapov 0.6a: 10min, 29sec
povCyg 3.1g: 8min, 43sec
Not a very convincing result and probably not representative fore real
scenes. I would have liked to test it on some more complex scene, but
making one without any transformations is difficult.

Can you please send me the scene file? I used the scene which was added and
had no problem, but I have an Athlon. Perhaps that's the reason.
