I am trying to call POV from a batch file to render my scene with various
parameters.  I had it working in linux with a script, but converting to
windows it doesn't seem to work.  I have:

"C:Program FilesPOV-Ray for Windows v3.6binpvengine" +W1600 +H1000 -P
Declare=KAPPA=4 +05K4.png Declare=SUNANGLEX=5 orthoclouds2.pov

and I have tried various permutations of these parameters, also with the
command "/RENDER" in there.  Every time, POV opens but I get a command line
processing error.  What is the correct way to do this?  (Win XP)

Thanks, Eric

Hi,

in wxBasic, I call it with

c:povray36binpvengine.exe /RENDER terraform.ini  +D +FN +QR +A0.2 +W160
+H120 +Ooutput/out.png  +Ic:_povfront05amyscene.pov

on XP.

Maybe there is a Problem with the spaces in your Pathname?

Mark

Thanks!  It looks like I had a '0' instead of a 'O' for my output file.
This works OK:

"C:Program FilesPOV-Ray for Windows v3.6binpvengine" /RENDER
orthoclouds2.pov +W1600 +H1000 -P Declare=KAPPA=4 +O05K4.png
Declare=SUNANGLEX=5
