Oops. Forgot to document that. Most INI settings can be specified using
this. You can even specify image size, if you like. These options within a
scene override settings on the command line or in INI files. Not all ini
options will work and not all have been tested. I'll fix bugs as people
report them. ;-)

Thanks. This is a potential bug. I'll look into it.

Bug warning:
You may run into problems with photons in media. I just noticed a bug where
media is attenuated at the wrong time, so the last section of media might
not be calculated. Try to have an empty space between your media-containing
object and the surface that gets hit by photons to make sure things get
computed correctly. Photons on the surface of the media-contianing object
or on objects within the media may not get attenuated.

Hmmm... Looks like the site is down. Guess I won't be uploading that bugfix
tonight. Well, anyway, if anyone wants to mirror it they can, just please
mirror the update once I get a chance to upload it, too.

The following is what I get when I run Jaime Vives Piqueres
test04.pov & i_stsky.inc . The same stuff runs fine in official
POV3.1g .
<snip>
Warning Stream to console.......On
dfactor, // darkening factor
border, // width of change zone
fstart, // filter for lower layer
fend // filter for upper layer
)r <----ERROR
<snip>
\i_stsky.inc:32: error: object expected but undeclared identifier 'r'
found instead.
Does anyone else get this?
The files are at Jaime's site in "CLOUDSCAPE" or I can send them
to you if you don't already have them.

Does this work?

Is there any reason you want it to ?

No, but there are many reasons why I don't want it to work.

I've mirrored the windows binaries there:
http://www.enst.fr/~jberger/uvpov6.zip
(there's no link on the web page and I'll probably remove it when
Nathan's site comes back up, but for the time being, there it is...)

I was experimenting with the new radiosity today and I noticed when I changed
resolutions that the brightness of the scene changed. I had some lights in the
scene that I commented out so I could test some ambient objects. At first I
thought the brightness was different because of the different resolutions, but
apparently the radiosity cache file (from when I rendered it with the lights in
the scene) is being kept but is only used at a specific image resolution. I'm
not sure yet but it sounds like that old global variable bug might have creeped
back in.
