PovOL (Pov-Ray Object Language) is a toy language that provides access to the
ray tracing facilities of the Pov-Ray engine via simple definitions of Pov-Ray
objects. It is NOT an object-oriented language. It is developed using
Microsoft's Oslo's MGrammar and generates code to SDL. It is by no means a
replacement for SDL (far from it!) but is meant to give practical access to new
users to Pov-Ray's powerful capabilities.

It can be tried-out online to generate ray-traced images via
http://www.sixpairs.com/povol.aspx. The online tool generates transparent png's
as images. Animation is not yet supported online but is available with the
PovGen tool (desktop WPF application) which intrinsically generates animated
gifs.
