hi there!
i think i already saw a picture where someone used an imagefile as a
texture, but i can't find anything about it in the manual. what i want
to do is render a picture, use it in another picture as a texture, use
this picture again in anoter one... and so on... to create a kind of
infinity-effect :)
thank in advance,
Marc

If you look in the docs, search for "image_map". There are several types of
file-formats POV-Ray understands and several ways to do this. My approach
would be to create a simple #if-statement:
#if (file_exists("image.ext"))
#declare Texture = texture{With_ImageMap}
#else
#declare Texture = texture{Without_ImageMap}
#end
For "image.ext" I'd put the output of the current file, e.g. for
"project.pov" this would be "project.ext" where "ext" is either tga, png,
bmp, or however you set POV-Ray to Output your images.
So, once the image is created, it'll use it as image_map and overwrite it.
Render the that scene several times and voila: image in image in image in
image...
Regards,
Tim

Look for - image_map - in the docs.

i think i misunderstood what image_map meant. i thought it would provide
some kind of pattern to be used with textures or pigments. i'll try this.
thx,

Also, look for a file named desk.pov in the advanced directory. It contains
code for the "image in the image in the image in the image" trick.

i solved it myself by using three scene files, which contain more or
less the same scene: the first one (logo.pov) creates a picture of the
cube. the second one (logo1.pov) creates again a cube but uses logo.png
for one side. the third one (logo2.pov) takes logo1.png for one side and
after that i change one line in the code of logo1.pov to make it use
logo2.png. after that i can render logo1.pov and logo2.pov as often as
neccessary.
i think it's a rather complicated way, but hey it was 2 in the morning
when i started. for the result look at p.b.i (pov-ray logo)
bye,
Marc
