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!)
http://stuff.povaddict.com.ar/povray.zip
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?

I added the license files to the zip.
Should also include the source code I used? I just copied all source/*
files from 3.6.1 unix to 3.6 win directory (since there is no win 3.6.1
code yet), modified optout.h as required (DISTRIBUTION_MESSAGE_2), and
tweaked config.h for my MinGW version.

I am considering incorporating POV-Ray into a program I am developing that
creates an engineering connection component based on user input. Long story
short - the user enters certain parameters (beam width, load, etc.) and my
program designs the physical connection component. My program calls POV-Ray and
feeds it command line parameters that define the connection object, POV-Ray
renders it, and then my program displays the 3-D image that POV-Ray generates.
My question is how I can figure out if this is compliant with the licensing
agreement of POV-Ray. My program will be sold for-profit, and I do not mind
releasing the source code as well. I just want to know if running POV-Ray in
this fashion and incorporating the output into my program is kosher. If this is
not the correct place to ask this, please let me know if you know where I should
be inquiring for this information.
Thank you,
Cyrus

Haha,
What I meant is I would include the source for POV-Ray, not my program. :-P

Nicolas,
I can't access this file. Could you please Repost?
Thanks!
