The first problem is adapting it to tiktok format: audio track needs to be

EITHER:
paired your renders with trending synthwave, chillwave, or retro-electronic
music to match the aesthetic.

OR:
original to avoid being censored. So what should a POV soundtrack be like? I
think sound samples from an on-topic talking podcast or tutorial, one that the
author would allow us to use could make a good backdrop... (e.g. SMCA: Stephen
Mc Avoy, with your awesome scottish accent, would you allow such derivative use
of your works?)

Then there is the content:

*WIP Videos: Users love seeing how things are made. So a time-lapse of a POV-Ray
scene compiling, or a "code vs. render" split screen, may perform very well.

*Satisfying Loops: POV-Ray is great for creating perfect, mathematically precise

watch.

* generally, using the below tags could federate and ease the virality:

#POVRay
#RetroCGI
#3DRender
#OldSchoolCGI
#FractalArt
#GenerativeArt

* Join Broader Communities: Post your work in the
#3DArtists
#DigitalArt

* Is there any challenge worth contributing to? These might be a fit:

#RetroCGIChallenge
#LowPolyArt
#FractalFriday

* When using Nostalgia & "Retro-Future" Aesthetic:
#Y2K
#AnalogHorror"
#RetroCGI

I happened to notice this artist on Instagram using POV-Ray with the hashtag
'#vaporwaveart': https://www.instagram.com/rgbsphere

Here's some more info I found on the term "vaporwave":

"POV-Ray is great for creating perfect, mathematically precise"
Yes... you had me at Nostalgia :)
At times ....at least for me, POV is the only thing in this world that makes
sense.

If you need free music, try this one.

https://freetouse.com/music

You have to try some tracks to find a good one, but some of them are really
good.
Have used one of them for my spacecraft-movie.
Somewhere you should mention the author and the website (in a description to the
clip), but I think thats no problem.
