As a Windows user you will have to turn on the animation capabilities
of POV-Ray by setting swithces either on the command line or inside
of an .ini file. See the following site for more information -

The latter (automatically). You need to set Initial_Frame = x and
Final_Frame = y in your ini settings for the scene.

You will then output multiple images with the clock incrementing between
each scene.

By default the clock will increment from 0 for your first frame to 1 for
your last frame, so if you were rendering 11 frames it would go 0, 0.1, 0.2
.... 1.0 (iirc).

You can change this default by adding Initial_Clock and Final_Clock to your
ini.

For more info, look up "Animation" and "INI File Settings" in the help.
