test_POV_main should have a line in it something like;


extension, what OS are you using?)

you could add your environment to test_POV_main. Or simpler still add

Things to note; Make sure that the path that your Test_Pov_* files are in
the Pov-Ray Library (search) path. This can be found in povray.ini. Make
sure that all the Test_Pov_* files are included using #include. Either in
your file or in test_POV_main.
One other thing as well as including the files you must call the object.






object{ Name_of_Object_in_ test_POV_ main }

P.S. I just read your post again and you mentioned Poseray. If you get a
preview in Poseray then the material and geometry files will be included in

P.P.S. The #fopen and #read commands are for internal use. They are often
used to read variables and data that you want to store between frames of an
animation.
