you could always write a little perl script, or i imagine even do it in
povray, yes povray is a better idea... have it output an html file based on
the image name of the image being rendered. shouldnt be too difficult at all
as long as you have access to the image name within povrays scene
description language.

peace,

I dont know perl :( (but am learning python :) )

The idea of using pov to generate the html is cool, but I don't know how to
get the file name.

It can be hardcoded by hand. Its no big deal to #declare name =
'tilefile.jpg' is it? The problem is: is it practical?

you could hardcode it. but hardcoding sucks. i agree that the impracticality
of it is having to open a web browser as an image viewer. a quick look for a
way to get the filename being rendered yeilded nothing. but it seems like
something that should very easily be available. i'm having no luck searching
through the newsgroups or documentation for it though.

Well, that's what I meant when I said something about sticking thingies
in. If you're still interested you may want to try it again and see if
it does what you want now.
Here's a direct download link:

It may not be watertight, so please tell me if your system blows up in
your face. Especially if it leaves you covered with green goo...

Cheers!

I have tryed it and it really does show the file the way I want, but not
with the ease of use I would like.

I still have to edit the code every time I render a different scene :P


Thank you anyway :)


Best regards

Thank you very much :)

I am glad you liked it. Sometimes is frustrating not to be able to create
stunning  scenes with lots of technical stuff. So its good to know someone
liked our little simple pic :))

:( Too bad. I just have a reaaly old version of PP that came with an old
printer I got.
