I want 3d fractals! I have found raw2pov as I am using fractint, but the raw
output does not seem compatible with raw2pov. The pov output from fractint
is now obsolete - very frustrating! - any suggestions?

  There are two different types of raw files. One is a basic
image file format like gifs the other is a file containing
information about the coordinates of triangles.
raw2pov uses the latter.
A raw file that raw2pov would recognize would be columns
of numbers in sets of three. See example:

1 2 3   4 5 6   7 8 9
5 3 8   1 5 9   5 2 0

Thats all it contains and has nothing to do with fractint.

Sorry.

Ken
