Hi.

I need some help with my renderings, When I use POV-Ray to render the .pov files
which I have exported from Demo 3D, the final rendering is very pixelated when
completed.

Are there any settings which I can change to fix this prolem? or does anyone
know of another way to help?

Thanks for your help.
Stephen

kind of vague there ... maybe it's just something as simple as enabling 
a little anti-aliasing

http://wiki.povray.org/content/Documentation:Reference_Section_1.3#Anti-Aliasing_Options

maybe posting an image in p.b.images might be helpful in finding out 
what the problem might be.

Does that file use any image_map?
It may be of to small resolution causing some pixelisation.

Does it use any mesh? If so, how fine are those? Do they use smooth 
triangles?
Depending on the mesh's density and lights-camera placement, it can 
cause shadow/illumination artefacts that can look like pixelisation.

It would help if you could post the image too so that we can see what you're
talking about.

Post a sample image in povray.binaries.images with the same subject.
