I have an app that needs to render a quick object and display it on it's
screen.
I have managed to get pvengine.exe to open up and render the bmp for me
but it tosses up a splash screen. how do I do this in a completely
invisible way?
C# code
---------
Process POVRay = new Process();
POVRay.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\Program Files\\POV3.6\\bin\\pvengine.exe";
POVRay.StartInfo.Arguments = "+IC:\\temp\\demo.pov +OC:\\temp\\demo.bmp
+w320 +h200 -P -D /EXIT";
POVRay.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
POVRay.Start();
POVRay.WaitForExit();

Compile your own POV-Ray without GUI :) Or, talk to an existing POV-Ray
instance using a GUI extension.

Or use Linux, where there is no integrated editor at all :)

Well i tried the same in a java servlet under WindowsXP, and the splash screen
appeared. I think that you can use the /EXIT parameter in the same command line
when you invoke Povray. Then when pov finish the image you can show it on your
own window, i think ...
After some efforts povray crashed and I cant execute it and cant reinstall it
.... Windows XP ...
Hope it helps.

Linux? are you nuts? I am obviously in a Windows App, please!
Compiling my own POV-Ray... how hard is that?
Isn't there a way to tell POV to render in the task tray? That would be
acceptable.
What I am doing is accepting inputs from a user and based on them,
creating a quick scene and displaying it in a panel on the winform. So
in this case, having the splash screen come up whenever the user changes
anything is - how shall I say - too damned annoying.

There is, click the Tray button on the toolbar :) But if your app
restarts POV-Ray again for each render, the splash window can't be
avoided. If you want that, you need to write a GUI Extension (in C) that
controls a single instance of POV-Ray. You start POV-Ray once, minimize
it to tray, and let your app control it.

I'll do it for you. I don't want to compile an unoptimized version! What
CPU do you have? Get CPU-Z or some similar tool to find out what
instruction sets your computer supports.

Well, here you go. Compiled with -msse2 -msse -mmmx -march=pentiumpro
-mtune=pentium4 -ffast-math. So, should have MMX, SSE, SSE2, run
somewhat faster on pentium4 and still be compatible with pentiumpro and
higher.

Eh, looks like wikifortio screwed my upload. Try this (slow!)

PS: it's 3.6.1. I merged the Windows config and makefiles with the unix
3.6.1 code, since there is no 3.6.1 win code yet.

SSE2 was introduced with Pentium4, so if the compiler really generated SSE2
instructions it won't work with anything older.

Btw, are you sure your distribution above complies with the POV-Ray
distribution license?
