Hi guys,

I have just completed first release of Matlab toolbox that provides interface to
POV-Ray. This API extends Matlab visualization system with power of raytracing.

You can find it on Matlab File exchange:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/123520-pov-lab-matlab-interface-to-pov-ray

Any suggestions are welcome.

Nice.

I'd love to take a look at it - but the only copy I have is my _OLD_ copy of
Matlab & Simulink (R2008a and R2007b) from the University of Maryland, that,
after rescuing along with the rest of my very few surviving possessions, I no
longer have the license information for.

So, maybe someone else has Matlab and can give it a whirl.

It's just that thanks to the price of gasoline, heating oil, rent, and eggs all
inflating due to rampant and unprecedented levels of unchecked government
spending, and overall destruction of the entire supply-side of the economy, a
license is kind out of my discretionary spending budget for the forseeable
future.

Thanks for making a POV-Ray interface - it would be nice to attract a few more
forum visitors and POV-Ray enthusiasts with advanced mathematical expertise!

Bill,

despite not having a Matlab license you still have the ability to look at code
and generated images that I've published - just follow the link in
previous post and select 'Examples' tab. You will see  the code and resulting
image at the bottom of every example page.

As for the present world condition, I am totally frustrated too, but have no
other choice except to continue to live and work. Working with my favorite
technology - CG gives me power and joy.

I have been familiar with POV-Ray since the early 90 when I only started to
learn CG in university and POV-Ray helped me a lot. Now I'm back to it and
feeling somеthing like nostalgia when writing wrappers for scene generation.

So, Bill, please hold on, and I will be glad too if my small contribution will
attract someone to this powerful and flexible tool.
