- A brief explanation of some of the standard FTPOV options...
-
-
- -lf:\pov\libs ; These are paths for '*.inc' libraries and
- -lf:\pov\include ; any image-maps without specific locations.
-
- +mv2.0 ; Choose +mv1.0 for POV1.0 compatibility.
- +ft ; Render TARGA format image. Other options include GIF.
- +v1 ; Produce reasonably verbose messages.
- +x ; Allow exit from POV during trace (-x is faster).
-
- +mb0 ; enable speed optimisations (automatic bounding slabs).
- +ulb ; use light-buffering for fast shadows.
- +uvb ; use vista-buffering for fast ray calculations.
- +ubq ; Allow bounding (optimisation) of quartic shapes.
- +usi ; Allow splitting & bounding of infinite shapes (planes etc.)
-
- -um2 ; Use CPU<->FPU method #2 (try 1 and 3 - but 2 is usually best).
-
- +a0.2 ; Anti-aliasing. Smoothing improves with smaller values (also slows down).
- +q9 ; Quality setting. 0=garbage : 9=maximum : 3=good for previews.
- -c ; Continue trace. This allows continuation of previously aborted render.
-
- +w160 ; image width
- +h120 ; image height
