Hello everyone,
I want to ask How we can open the source code of program POVRay?
If we can do it, we can see the flow proses rendering in POVRay and we can
modify that such we can add some coding (like MPI maybe) for get paralel
rendering program with POVRay.
Sorry, I am new in POVRay.

Regards,
Galih Pribadi

You can get the source code here:

Distributed rendering (which is probably what you mean by "parallel 
rendering") is a future plan for POV-Ray; at present, parallel rendering 
is supported only in the sense of multi-threaded rendering on multi-core 
(or multi-cpu) systems with shared memory.
