the programm that I use, creates 2 reference *.inc files and separate *.pov
files for every frame for every framestep. So if I want to make an animation
of 40 sec. I end up with 1000 *.pov files and 2 *.inc files.
How can I automate this in povray so that first file 0001 is rendered, then
0002, ect....?
Look at batch opparation, made a batch file, located in the bin dir. of
povray and next to it a sample pov scene + the 2 inc files:
"pvengine.exe +H640 +W480 +A0.3 +sample_scene_0000.pov +000Otest.bmp "
But when running batch file povray starts up, and when repeting it while
povray is open it prompts me with the following poup message:
"Only /EDIT and /RENDER may be passed to previous instance"
So any ideas how I would set up such a batch sequence (have little
experience with batch files, and povray). (And prefer a solution where I
don't have to edit all 1000 files to include some line of code)
Thx

the solution is to add a "/exit" to the batchfile. this tells povray to
close after rendering the image. simple, isn't it? ;)
ciao,

Tried that but it doesn't render the scene. It prompts me with the following
text (in the blue bottom info field of povray):
--------------------------------------
Possible command line errror: unknown switch '0000.pov'
command line error: problem with command line or INI file
return from renderer eith error status
---------------------------------------
the batch file I use now states:
pvengine.exe +H512 +W384 +A0.3 +0000.pov +000Otest.bmp /exit (is this the
correct writing, cause it just starts and then closes without rendering
pvengine.exe +H512 +W384 +A0.3 +0000.pov +000Otest.bmp "/exit" (withone
should it be, cause this one gives me the stated message above)
is there something wrong with the writing of this file or the location (the
file works when i render via the gui myself)
PS. when asking it on my eporters programme newsgroup I got this reply, but
am not sure if that is the same solution (command-line) with the batch
operation or something different:
--------------
Yes. You can then render all of them automatically using POV-Ray
command-line (or GUI),

You don't have the input file switch +i or +I before the 0000.pov and the
output switch is incorrect too, should be +o or +O then test.bmp. Also, file
names without any switches will be taken to mean an INI settings file.
