Hi all,
I am creating a animation of a very complex geometrical object. The object
itself consists of a very large number of spheres, whose position and color
show certain properties of the parameter-space. This object is the result
of a lengthy calculation of an external programm. The animation will show
the change of the object as a result of some multi-dimensional
parameter-variation.
How can i call an external program from within the pov-scene description
language?
Regards, Martin

my best guess would be to make your program call povray. you can set the
time variables manually with the command prompt, and have your file ready to
be read by your povray script.

AFAIK, you can't call an external program from within a scene or include
file, but you certainly can using shell-out INI file settings (explained in
the docs at "3.1.2.6 Shell-out to Operating System"). Perhaps your goal
could be achieved by setting a proper "Pre_Frame_Command" or
"Post_Frame_Command".
