Hi!

I'm actually not an experienced PovRay user neither a modeler/animator
in general. I, however, have to solve rendering issues for other, less 
technically oriented graphics people - that's why I'm asking around 
despite the above fact.

So, my question is that if I have an animated scene, then invoking
PovRay separately for each and every frame results (or is it possible to
result) in anything different from when I invoke PR for the whole
animation once. I understand that when I invoke PR to render a single
frame split up into multiple parts, then there may be artifacts at the
edges of the parts due to anti-aliasing and similar effects. That's why
I'm asking about splitting up animations - wondering whether there are
algorithms in PR that imply that the whole animation is computed in one
pass.

Are there any serious performance implications of such plit computing?

thx
