Description

A widely used ray tracing package, Persistence of Vision's Ray Tracer
(POV-ray) is based on David Buck's original ray tracer, DKB-Trace.
POV-ray is currently developed and supported by members of CompuServe
Graphics Developers' Forum. The first stage of the process is
describing what you want to depict, either by using an interactive
modeling system like a CAD package, or by creating a text file which
uses a programming language-like syntax to describe the elements of
the image. In both cases, you have to specify the objects, their
shape, their location, their color, their texture and their
illumination. Then you input the information to the raytracer program
and wait (and wait and wait...raytracing isn't speedy) for its
output (the image).
