  Output destination in Windows version (Message 1 to 5 of 5)

I have used the Unix command line version of POVray for sometime. Having
recently moved to the windows version, I am confused as to where the
rendered image is saved? I can't seem to find this in any of the
preferences.

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Mike

The same directory as the input file, unless you tell it otherwise
via a command-line or INI option.

The command-line options are mostly the same as the unix version.

Does it just give it some default name?

In povray.ini you should have or create a line:
Output_File_Name=(output directory)
with the desired path of the directory you want to output it to, the file
will be called filename.xxx where filename is the name of the scenefile and
.xxx depends on the image file type
See "5.2.2.3  File Output Options" in the docs

Same as the name of the input file.

Make a new folder. Put a scene file in it. Render the scene file. View the
contents of the folder.
