I didn't know it. I will try.

On the video, we only see the full fixed rendering and some wireframe
representation. What I really want is the real time rough representation, not
with wireframes. Within Blender, I can move with the mouse in this rough
rendering to inspect the details of my constructions. This a feature I miss in
povray. To really "see the perspective", I think moving the image is a real
advantage. It is probably as important as the shadow to really "feel" the
perspective.

Thank you for the answer. This is very nice when people try to help :-)
