I found what I want.
It's the megapov. With this you can render povray file from the command
lines.
And I found that the fuction to run function from the matlab is
system('...')
But know i hace problems with the megapov. Maybe someone can help me.
Imagine:
The path of the megapov is:
C:Documents and SettingsadminDesktopmegapov-1.2.1-windowsbin
The path of the file I want to render is :
d:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsproyectopovrayrobotSimulator
The name of the file I want to render is:
robot_movement_eyefish.ini
The files I have to include are in the path:
d:Documents and SettingsadminMy DocumentsproyectopovrayrobotSimulator
The files .inc that megapov needs like colors.inc are in
C:Program FilesPOV-Ray for Windows v3.6include
The picture of the video I need to make i need to save in
d:Documents and SettingsadminMy Documentsproyectointerface
And I need the pictures in bmp

I tried this:
system('"C:Documents and
SettingsadminDesktopmegapov-1.2.1-windowsbinmegapov.exe"   +HI"d:Documents
and SettingsadminMy DocumentsproyectopovrayrobotSimulator" +L"c:Program
FilesPOV-Ray for Windows v3.6renderer" +I"d:Documents and SettingsadminMy
DocumentsproyectopovrayrobotSimulatormovimiento_robot.pov"')

With this result:

Cannot open INI file 'FilesPOV-Ray'.
Cannot process command-line due to a parse error.
This is not a valid command-line. Check the command-line for syntax errors,
correct them, and try again!
Valid command-line switches are explained in detail in the reference part of
the documentation.
To get a short list of command-line switches, use either the '-h', '-?',
'-help' or '--help' switch.
Failed to render file due to error(s)!

You can do that with the standard POV-ray too.

Then that is probably what is wrong. ;)
My suggestions to get this to work are:
- make sure that your scene runs from within the GUI version
of (mega)pov
- create a script to hide the ugly absolute paths.
(I could give you mine if you really want, but you might
prefer to write your own).
- cd to the directory that contains your pov script
- run it there without any options
- add options untill you find where the bug is.
- run it from another directory
Always be aware of filenames with spaces in it,
but I think you already got that one.

I hope this helps a little

How can I do this with pov ray?? I know you can open povray from the command
line, but I need to render without open the graphical interface

Why?

You have to specify that POV should close after rendering.
I admit that it is a bit annoying that the whole GUI
starts everytime but I never found that a problem myself.
Generating a movie I do in batch anyway (preferably when
sleeping).

(I didn't have megapov installed yet. I have now. I'll
look unto the command line options for that).

OK I did that, works perfectly for me, so what was your
problem ;)

Attached my megapov script.
Unfortunately not useable for you, because it is using my
swiss army knife ProcessVarargin to handle the options, but
I think you'll get the point. If not, I might attach that
function next time ;) .
