Hi all,

I'm trying to use megapov post_process in order to create a Depth image.

I already struggled to get megapov running on a simple povray scene, had to copy
inc files in the good directory and stuff.

The problem I am experimenting now is the following :

I added to my scene the code :

#version unofficial MegaPOV 1.2;
#include "pprocess.inc"

in the beginning, and then in the end :

post_process{PP_Depth(pdV,150)}

When I run it, i get an error message :

"Parse Error: Expected 'object or directive', post_process found instead"

How do I get post_process recognize ??? Did I forget to include something ? Or
is my declaration of megapov version wrong ?

Thanks for helping,

Thomas

  IIRC, that should go in the global_settings{} block...

Thanks for the hint !

I was able to reach the next error : the compiler now recognizes the
post_process and the PP_Depth, but it stops in pprocess.inc (which I absolutely
did not modify), in the macro :

#macro _filter_depth(_f_in,_firld_start,_firld_depth)
function{clip(adj_range2(_f_in(u,v),_firld_start,_firld_start+_firld_depth,0,1),0,1)}
#end

The error message is "Parse error, expected 'operand', found vector identifier
instead"

It seems to come from "_f_in(u,v)"

I don't understand what I did wrong. Did I give wrong inputs to PP_Depth ?

I called the function this way :

global_settings{
     post_process{PP_Depth(<0,150,0>,150)}
                }

completely in the end of my scene's code...

Thanks for helping

Thomas

  Most likely, yes...

  This seems a clear case of RTFM... :)

  I've just looked at

http://megapov.inetart.net/manual-1.2.1/megapov0121.html#inc_pprocess.inc

  and there I read "Field_Start specifies the beginning of the focal 
range *IN UNITS* from the camera." ;)
