Hello,
Please let me make a question about the random stream of POV-Ray.
Will it generate same sequence from same seed in other POV-Ray instance?
I would like to know if my .povs make similar images in different OS or machine
or version.
Thank you very much.

In most cases, the result will be the same.
There may be some differences if the FP processor is different due to
possible differences in how rounding and normalisation are done.

What Alain said.
In a nutshell, the values may differ on different platforms, but only by
tiny amounts.
Of course, if you use the results to make decisions, there is a small
chance that those miniscule differences have a major effect.

Thank you very much. I do check for FP specs in my available PCs.
Thanks again,

Thank you very much for more precise information.
I am glad to hear random sequences are almost same.
It is enough for my purpose.
I will take care of the corner case.
Thanks again,
