Some users are creating scenes with animation using the program Moray. We'd
like to render these on our Linux cluster, however, we can't figure out the
best way to do this. Will we need to get Moray to output a .pov file for
each frame, or can a single POV file contain the entire scene. Any help
would be appreciated, thanks.

It depends on how you are doing the animation -- if you are using the clock
value and splines and such, you can just use a single .pov file and set
values in your povray.ini. However, if you are not using POV-ray's animation
facilities, you will have to either output a seperate .pov file for each
frame, or generate your .pov files using a programming language (PERL works
particularly well for this). I don't use Moray, though, so I don't know the
details on how Moray animates. If Moray creates splines that use the clock
value, you're golden.
Anybody here a Moray guru?

Moray create a single pov file in the /Povscn folder with the same name.
Normaly it includes an Ini and an Inc file.
These 3 files can you render and open with povray
The single pov file can contain the entire scene.
If you have more questions about Moray you can ask the authors in the
newsgroup moray.win

It depends on how the animation is created in Moray. If it was produced using
the animation plugin then you are snookered. This combination uses Pov-Ray as a
rendering engine and you have no access to the code. On the other hand if it
uses the clock variable a static scene is made in Moray then tweaked by hand in
Pov-Ray to add the animation functions. Such as the clock variable and spline
paths.
I assume because you are having difficulties, that the animations are made using
Alexander Enzmann's plugin. IIRC he is on an extended break, travelling and
there will be no updates to the plugin for a while.
Actually on rereading you post and assuming you are not using the plugin, you
can create animations using just one Moray created Pov file (plus ini and inc
files). That is the way I create animations.
