A few points of observation:

1. _attach_ the scene as a .pov file to avoid the split-line / wrapping issue

2. You load the same image twice
     #declare P_Heightfield=
     #declare P_Texture=
why not just reuse the same image_map pigment pattern?

3. THEN, you scan the entire image TWICE, which has to take forever
#declare hcolor = eval_pigment(P_Heightfield, <(0.5+b)*(1/xdim),
(0.5+a)*(1/ydim), 1>);
// #declare C_Texture = eval_pigment(P_Texture, <(0.5+b)*(1/(xdim-1)),
(0.5+a)*(1/(ydim-1)), 0>);
and why is one calculation using xdim & ydim, and the other using xdim-1 &
ydim-1 ?

4. it's presently unclear to me how your calculations are working, but it does
seem to me that you are working on the images in the default unit square pigment
pattern.   You should get rid of

#declare xdim=1000; // full resolution: 3601;
#declare ydim=1000; // full resolution: 3601;

and use something like
#declare ImageMap = pigment {image_map {"yourimage.jpg" once} };
#declare Resolution = max_extent (ImageMap);
#declare Resolution = Resolution + <0, 0, 1>;

in order to automatically give you the correct number of pixels in the image.
then if you

scale Resolution

You will have an image_map pigment pattern where you can use integers in your
loops for pixel positions.


5.  I think you're breaking things up into several sequential loops where there
are a lot of redundant things happening, and you would do far better to perform
all of your operations in a single loop.
You store a lot of values in large arrays, but I'm not sure that if it were all
in one loop that you would need to store all of those values.  And of course
that would free up a LOT of memory.

Yadgar,

Your array V_vec_Arr is a 1 dimensional array.
But it seems like you are using it as if it was a 2 dimensional array.

If so, then you could have defined and used it like this:

#declare V_vec_Arr = array[ydim][xdim];
V_vec_Arr[a][b]

- but instead you seem to define and use it like this:

#declare V_vec_Arr = array[ydim*xdim];
V_vec_Arr[a*xdim + b]

This makes the indexing more awkward and error prone than it needs to be.

E.g.:

You have several lines that look somewhat like this:

#declare nno =
    nno +
    vcross(
        V_vec_Arr[(a + 1)*ydim + (b - 1)] - V_vec_Arr[(a + 1)*xdim + b],
        V_vec_Arr[                b     ] - V_vec_Arr[(a + 1)*xdim + b]
    )
;

- where the "*ydim" part seems wrong to me.

And then you have a line like this:

#if (a > 0 & a < ydim - 1 & b = ydim - 1) // rightmost column except lower

- where I suspect that "b = ydim - 1" should be "b = xdim - 1".

If these are bugs, they will probably not bite you until xdim becomes different
from ydim.

So I suggest that you do your array indexing in a different way.

TOK has spoken.   I can tell you from experience that listening and heeding his
advice is highly recommended.

Arghhh! That DO hurt !
That kind of array indexing gymnastic is only acceptable if you are 
using a language that don't support multidimensional arrays.
