Well, I have a model "pacman.pov" from which I generate "pacman_mod.pov"
substituting the parameters at n step. Then I render this script,
producing "pacman.png". And I move "pacman.png" to "pac%04d.png" with n.

It results 2000 files, from "pac0001.png" to "pac2000.png" with 2000
steps. I have launched POV-Ray 2000 times, knowing parameters from
1 to n steps. Each step n I have new parameters, but I don't know n+1.

I can't generate an array of parameters, because I know those partially.
I'm drawing a trajectory, steps to steps, and I can't predict future.

It's the simplest solution. If there's no command-line option to make
POV-Ray quiet, I can build a macOS/Macports version, that will be quiet.
Thanks for your help.
