Hi everybody,
I am a rookie in programation and especially in povray.
I have converted 3D surface from matlab in .pov using poseray.
I obtained several files:
test_POV_main
test_POV_mat
test_POV_geom
Then , I wanted to insert this surface into a specifcal environement. I've
defined the camera, the texture, the source...
But, how do I open those files created with poseray?
I used #fopen and #read but It doesn't work, the software doesn't recognised
my surface and asked for an Object.
Thanks by advance
Pierre

test_POV_main should have a line in it something like;
extension, what OS are you using?)
you could add your environment to test_POV_main. Or simpler still add
Things to note; Make sure that the path that your Test_Pov_* files are in
the Pov-Ray Library (search) path. This can be found in povray.ini. Make
sure that all the Test_Pov_* files are included using #include. Either in
your file or in test_POV_main.
One other thing as well as including the files you must call the object.
object{ Name_of_Object_in_ test_POV_ main }

P.S. I just read your post again and you mentioned Poseray. If you get a
preview in Poseray then the material and geometry files will be included in
P.P.S. The #fopen and #read commands are for internal use. They are often
used to read variables and data that you want to store between frames of an
animation.

It is fairly simple :-)
The test_POV_main file is a standalone scene file that you can use in
POV-Ray to see the object like you saw it in Poseray. The important files
are the _geom and the _mat files:
The _geom file contains the data describing your 3D surface
The _mat file contains a standard texture just to make the object visible.
You can change that later.
If you are not using the _main file:
- you must first include the two other files in your scene.
- Look at the end of the _geom file how Poseray has named the object
- now call the object in your scene: object {whatever}

I made a small mistake here. Do the following:
If you are not using the _main file:
- you must first include the _geom file in your scene (the _mat file is
automatically included by it. Watch out however, if the call is from another
directory, you may have to adapt the directory address in the #include)
- Look at the end of the _geom file how Poseray has named the object
- now call the object in your scene: object {whatever}

Add this at the begining of you scene
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------
// include files in this order
#include "colors.inc"
#include "skies.inc"
#include "stars.inc"
#include "textures.inc"
#declare _path="c:\\folder1\\folder2\\"; / / the
path of your POSERAY File
#declare _file_name_without_extend="this_file"; // the name of
your file without the extention
#include concat(_path,_file_name_without_extend,"_POV_mat.inc");
#include concat(_path,_file_name_without_extend,"_POV_geom.inc");
// Then for calling your object you should write
#object { this_file_ /* add a _ at the end of your file name }
// this is the way how poseray work by default ..
// ----------------------------------------------------------------
