  Camera jumping on a grid (x and z coordinates)

Hello,

sorry for crossposting this with this newsgroup and povray.animations. I
haven't seen this newsgroup in my newsreader at the first time...  :-/


Hi,

i'm trying to render something special (?) with povray: I like to have the
camera jump on a grid in the scene, but not on every field on the grid.

Let's say we have a grid sized 7 by 7, i'd like to render the grids
1,2
1,3
1,4
4,3 and
4,4

The problem is solved easily by creating a .pov-File for each grid including
the proper camera. Problem is: Parsing the scene takes up to 1 Minute. If i
could have the camera jump in the scene it would be much more quicker.

I am thinking about a construction like
if grid=1,2 then
    camera (xxx....)
if grid=1,3 then
    camera (yyy...)

Is there any way to handle this within a .pov-scene-file? Can someone help
me with that issue?

Regards,
Stefan
