I'd like to... but where is Rocks.dat ?

Post a reply to this message

Rocks.dat is an internally generated file. It is created during parsing.   
You might need to check your IO restrictions.

I've got the same error.  there is no rocks.dat.
the lotw.pov file is not making a new rocks.dat.

You have to change the settings so that it actually writes the .dat file.

Ie, change the line that reads:

#declare Scene_Detail = 7;

to

#declare Scene_Detail = 1;

then rerun, change the number to 2, then 3 etc.

One of the settings (I think 2 or 3) generates the rocks.dat file for you to
use later on in the higher detail settings.

The settings 2 through 6 generate the required dat files so long as the IO  
restrictions allow writing to the current directory
