Hi,

I am new with povray concepts ans I have an easy question...
I have been trying to understand the way it works by looking at
the great results some people get with the software but the code
calls some lines that point to some missing files I think.  Do any
of you can tell me more about what are those files, where can
they be found or how are they generated.

The 3 instructions are:
    #include "user.inc"
    object { #include "lit.inc"
and
    height_field {  png "d:\pv3d\inc\hfgil01.png"

I know it calls for external files declared by the creator of the
picture,
but if I want to regenerate the picture with a best picture quality and
learn from it, how can I render the picture?  I assume I need to get
the files...  but from where????

thank you

Fisher

If the files are not available from the same source as the .pov you are
trying to render, try contacting the creator of the image.

Hi,

only the creator can tell you, what is to be in that files. It may be
anything what can be in the main .pov-file you have. That file in the
height_field is of course an image file in png-format.

Ask the creator of the file if he hands them over to you.

Welcome to the Pov, btw.
