I tryd the following code:
camera
{ location 0 look_at z
  rotate <0, 0>
  translate Location
}
but I get an error when I render the scene.
"Parse error: Expected 'numeric expression', undeclared identifier
'Location' found instead".

Maybe I make a stupid mistake, but I'm new to Pov-Ray.
Somebody knows what is wrong?
