I know this is a newbie question, but I can't find it in the documentation,
and my mind is not what it once was.  How do I get pov to change the format
of the output file in Pov-ray v3.1 for Windows? Thanks.

John

  Don't want to sound sarcastic, but do you really and honestly think this
is a question for povray.ADVANCED-users or for povray.BINARIES.*?
  Besides, cross-posting is unnecessary and deprecable.

  Anyways, the answer is to put a proper +f command (or the longer version
of it, which I don't remember) in the master povray.ini file (you can edit
it through a menu option; I think it was 'tools/edit master povray.ini' or
something). Read the documentation for the proper syntax of "+f".

ALT-C or Render => Edit Settings/Render and there add in the

"Section": Command line Option the prefered Format

From the Help Section "File Output Options":

+FC     Compressed Targa-24 format (RLE, run length encoded)
+FN     New PNG (portable network graphics) format
+FP     Unix PPM format
+FS     System-specific such as Mac Pict or Windows BMP
+FT     Uncompressed Targa-24 format

Hth

al ;-)

When U render by POV U can save Your rendered image in different formats
TGA, BMP or PNG in a Directory U can chose.
Try to edit the Povray.ini file from:

"Tools"--> "Edit master POVRAY.INI"

U can add a raw like:

Output_File_Type=T
if U want a TGA ... or =S insted of T if U want a BMP or =N if You need a
PNG output image

and also the raw :
Output_File_Name=C:\images\

tells POVRay where to save the rendered image

at the end of the ini file there are also the output directory and the
library paths where pov try to search for the files "he" needs when it start
to render.
BTW: the ini file is read only when pov start!!!!
