Well, I WON'T, since you're having problems with 9.2.2 :(

Sad, really.

Any advice ??
Thorsten ????

Well my 8.6 is even older, but it works pretty well for me for everything
else -
never touch a running system :-)
Since 3d rendering is not my top priority pastime, I'll just wait and see
what will happen...

If you are desperate... I could email it to you from work. The .sit file 
is 6.8 MB. Here in the US, it is Friday evening so you would have to 
wait until Mon.

I also have problem with the rendering in POV 3.5.I use OS 9.2.2,
CarbonLib1.6. When I try to render any file I get a rendering dialog that
just winds on and on and never stops. Any remedy???

Thanks

try talking with other users in this group who have the same problem... if
you do not mind the old interface i suggest staying with Mega pov with the
Mac interface... It is what i use and works just fine but is not compatible
with source code from other users on these groups if you do allot of
sharing... So far i have not heard of any fix for 3,5 on 9.2.2... Try asking
Chris Huff he is a good programer and if he has time might help... Otherwise
i would go back to 3.1.g... =]

Good luck... =]

Actually, I would suggest using 3.5 if at all possible instead of 
MegaPOV, and definitely not 3.1g. I'm afraid I can't help much with 
running it under 9.2.2, I work under OS X now. I couldn't help much with 
fixing the Mac version either...it is a CodeWarrior project, and I can't 
easily afford an up-to-date version of CodeWarrior, even with the 
academic discount.

Exactly the same thing here, except i'm running a G3 500mhz. but the system
and carbon versions are the same.

What the hell is going on?

Is anyone having trouble under OSX v 10.2?

I have the same rendering (or non-rendering trouble) under 9.2.2 as rlar,
and POV-ray won't run at all under 10.1.2.

Post a reply to this message

Same problem here. I can't get animation to render in OS9.2.2 or OS 
10.2.3. Stills won't render either if they are very big.  I'm running a 
dual 867 Mhz processor G4. Any ideas yet?
