df3-files are the POV approach to volumetric rendering. df3-files are voxel
based and so have limitations. In a way you have a 3-Space-matrix of a choosen

as a density in a media-statement. All values between this voxels are
nterpolated. You will find wonderful examples at Paul Bourkes Site:

If you will put fire from Blender to POV, df3 may be the way most convenient but
still a stony one. The Parameters needed  additional to the df3-file are hard to
understand sometimes.

I'm still not happy with my first trial at df3-fires:

&toff=300

May be you will consider other ways to parametrize media. df3 is not the only
way.

Best regards,
Michael
