Hi,

Would like to be able to use povray to generate a scene and extra
information
that identifies the pixel position information of selected objects. This
extra
info would be used by an external utility to generate clickable image map
type
info.

The ideal solution would be to be able to tag objects in a scene with a name
and povray could record the pixels (x,y though possibly x,y,z would be
needed)
related only to objects that are tagged with a name. Povray is not expected
to
generate image maps, just which pixels are related to which objects.

Before spending lots of time studying the source:

1) has anyone done this or something like it already ?

2) how easy is this likely to be ?

Am willing to put in the programming time/effort if it's not to mammoth a
task :)

Cheers,

Lukibus
