Raytracing is NOT fast. Perhaps you're confusing it with ray casting?
they are not the same thing.
If you want to use the OUTPUT of a povray image, meaning the tga format
file (or whatever format you wish to convert it to), then all you need
is the C++ code for reading the image in. If you want to use the scene
file itself, then you're not only in for a lot of work, but you're going
to seriously cripple the speed of your game. Povray scene files are not
designed to be rendered on the fly.
