The animation feature of POV-Ray can be used to make it a spectral
render engine. The basic idea is to render a set of gray-scale images
- each representing a specific wavelength - and finally combine them
using the CIE color match function.
To simplify this task I have created a few POV-Ray SDL scripts and some
examples.

Thanks for posting.
The glasses are spectacular but, as much as I’d like to, I don’t have
the time to experiment with your Spectral Rendering. It is a bit out of
my league anyway.
I had not seen 'Bist Du noch da' before and for that alone it was worth
the visit. I have seen and liked 'In The Mood For Love' and will search
for a copy of Wong Kar-Way’s 2048 or is it 2046? (Do I see a geek’s typo
;-) )
I also like you music and that is saying something from someone who
thinks anything after the 18th Century is a bit too modern.
Just Like A William Powell (lookin' for that Myrna Loy) I enjoyed but it
reminded me of a tune that I just can’t put my finger on.
Bloody Hell! It sounds like a slow tempo Muppets theme. Tell me that I
am wrong. ;-)

Oh, well... just what I needed: another very interesting thing which
I don't have the time to try out, but which I will surely try out anyhow. ;)
BTW, I love POV-Ray... and your usage of it here shows exactly why:
it's an endless source of fun and surprises.
P.S.: The typical "Great work!" remark falls short here...

Why is life so short?
Why have days only 24 hours?
Why is there real life?
Why do I love POV-Ray so much?

Don't say that. I've spend a lot of time making its usage intuitive.
Maybe I failed but I would welcome feedback on that matter to improve
my didactic skills - I know that I suck in explaining things.

Aaargh! You are so right! Why the heck does 2048 look so much more
natural to me ;)

You've mentioned this before and I still find it surprising. Especially
since I do listen to almost all kinds of music of different styles and
era but I'll have to admit that the 18th and 19th century is the deepest
gap within my musical horizon. Well, I know all the "hits" all the
symphonies and all the stuff everybody knowns but it fails to touch me.
On the other hand, just recently I discovered Mozart's string quintets
and I really do love them. Maybe a question of getting older?

Haven't heard the Muppets theme since over a decade but I guess you are
not wrong ;)
Actually the main theme of "Just Like A William Powell" is based on the
typical "roaring 20ies" Charleston chord progression and I think the
Muppets-theme uses the same chords.
But the piano bridge between the verses of "...William Powell" cites a
famous German tune from the 20ies (or 30ies, not sure) called "Ich
brauche keine Millionen, mir fehlt kein Pfennig zum Glück" (rough
translation: "Don't need millions, don't miss a penny for
happiness/luck". Finally the instrumental part is bases on "Katz' Rag"
(named after the composer) and this was one of the very first tunes I
played on acoustic guitar when I was learning ragtime finger-picking
style. To put it like John Renbourn (one of my favorite British
guitarists): "I've always tried to play like Big Bill Broonzy - and I'm
still trying!"
For short, as I have actually nothing to say and do not consider myself
an artist I do with music the same as I do with my POV-Ray images: pack
them full with tiny references and citations in an attempt to make them
appear more interesting, but I guess it is not working that way,
...nonetheless I'll keep trying.

I'm sorry for that ;)

Yes, the same here! Especially POV-Ray's scripting power makes it
possible to always find new things to explore. On the other hand (and
just to mention it) "pro" render engines (V-Ray and the like...) use
spectral rendering since years.

While I understand that these questions are just rhetoric I still feel
tempted to answer all of them. But as this goes completely OT just
number three: Because otherwise - for the lack of recreation - humankind
would be extinct within a few years.

<grin> Absolutely right.
I think you did a great job. I shall do what you ask and try this out,
and report back if I find something difficult to understand. I have some
experience in writing tutorials and I know it is not really easy. It
needs feedback to get better.

Ive, I am working on it and writing down a file with comments on your
tutorial. I hope to be finished today, otherwise tomorrow.
