[Sorry for the double post. This is the second time Thunderbird has
messed up on me recently.]
I want to create an imagemap with hotspots based on the following
POV-Ray scene:
https://mjhorvath.github.io/Datsville/docs/high-resolution-render/high-resolution-render.html
I was wondering if there were maybe some way of automating the process,
by outputting the outlines of the objects that I can later vectorize in
Illustrator or Inkscape?
I know someone made a vector outline tool for Blender, but I'm not sure
how it works, or if it works _well_ at all.
Any ideas? Thanks so much!
Michael

Hmmm.
If you have all of the objects as object{}s, then you could
1. Use the object pattern and take a thin slice out of the center.
2. Apply a pigment map that is clear except for a slice in the center.
3. Use an infinitely scaled object pattern in a function

22e5fa64722ab4eec112d0%40news.povray.org%3E
4. scale the objects _really thin_
aside from that, maybe you could use trace()
OR
If you just define the object's pigment with a finish {diffuse 0} and give it a
face-on lighting with a hard shadow, then maybe that would give you a real
optical silhouette.
There was that discussion a while back about offset curves / shells, so you
could likely use that to make an isosurface shell...
That's it off the top of my head.

I remember doing something like this before. I think it can be automated
to some degree too.
It will still take a lot of time to set things up.
Thanks!

I have a scene that is made up of dozens of nested objects. Here is the
top-most layer:

}
#end // ifndef (datsville__master_dot_ldr)
Is there any way in POV-Ray to "walk" down the tree and get the name of
every one of these objects? I'm guessing there is not since I've not
heard of anyone ever doing this.
Thank you.

Likely not.
But it does suggest to me that you might be able to import all that text into a
spreadsheet and filter out all of the "object { ............ <" lines and
copy-paste that into a text file.

If you can render the objects separately, you can get a silhouette by
rendering the object with finish{ambient 0 diffuse 0} against a white
background. Or, render with +q0, a black pigment and a white background.
If you want a white object against a black background, then, you can use
this:
pigment{rgb 1}finish{emission 1}
Or, +q0, a white pigment and black background.
For both options, you don't need any light.
Then, in Inkscape, you can use that image to generate that outline. You
may also use a contour filter as another way to get a line around the
object.
Only work for the object seen from a specific direction.

I looked at the file again and luckily each object definition is
preceded by an #undef, so all I had to do was define an empty object
with the same name before parsing the file, and the object would then be
skipped.

Yes! This is what I ended up trying. However, there are over 100
buildings, so I wonder how big the SVG will get in the end. Also, I am
continually updating the scene, so I really need some way to automate
the process so I don't have to repeat all this work each time. I am not
sure Inkscape can be run from the command line, or what other tool I
might use instead.
Thanks!

I just going to throw this link in here to Paul Nylander's work - he does some
interesting things with edges and outlines.
http://bugman123.com/Programs/index.html
Not sure if that's at all helpful, but it's related, and maybe it will inspire
some ideas.
