My idea is this one :

If I can find a logic behind the grammar, I can model the relation between
objects (that form the scene) in a class hierarchy (in the sense of object
oriented programming).

For example :

A sphere is an object.
All objects share some properties. For example, all objects may have a color.
It is possible to apply some common transformation to all objects.

Therefore :
The class sphere inherits from the class object.
The class object has some methods (the common transformations).



We could produce object oriented representation of a scene.

Then :



output.

Step 2 : Get rid of the intermediate step that consists on producing the POVRAY
output. We produce a "binary" representation og the scene that we give to the
renderer?

Do you think it is possible ?

Thank you,

Denis
