I came across something odd last night and thought I'd pass it along.
I was rendering a 13 frame animation when a thunderstorm came up. I was
forced to shut down rendering just as the last frame was mid-way finished.
In the morning I erased the half-rendered image, added the +c switch to the
command line window, and sat back to watch it finish. To my horror the last
frame was *much* brighter the all of the others, and nothing else had
changed!
So, I stopped the render, again erased the partial trace, and restarted
once again. This time everything came out fine. Should I always begin a
bogus trace and stop it right away? Is this a bug or is my system porked? :)
Has anyone else noticed anything along this line?

This was a bug in the official version as well. I think it's fixed
in 3.1e. You'll find that none of your frames look any different
than they would if you had rendered without radiosity.

Not yet. I'm hoping to put it online this weekend, which
means I'll be spending some late nights writing docs and
even a little code. If you can deal with source code and
don't mind a dismal lack of documentation on the new features,
you can get the generic superpatch 3.1e sources at
http://www2.fwi.com/~parkerr/super31e.zip . Look back a few
posts in this group and you'll see me talking about how to
use them.

Okay, I'll try to compile it. I have five compilers and haven't used any of
them for anything other then a simple game I wrote. Writing code, no
problem. I've not had too much luck compiling pov since version 2 (2.2?),
though. :(
Something tells me I'll be looking forward to this weekend and your upload.

Well, y'all, my personal life went to hell in a handbasket this
weekend, so no superpatch 3.1e yet. <sigh>. Maybe next weekend.

I hope there's no permanent damage done. :)
More render time on my hands never hurts, heh
