Warning
=======

This folder must have a simple path without spaces or
special characters, for example on Windows:

    C:\Graphics\POV22

Or on Linux:

    ~/Graphics/POV22

All POV and INC files you write must also have simple paths,
otherwise POV-Ray will not render anything.


Using POV-Ray on Windows
========================

Rename the appropriate EXE file for your machine to `povray.exe`
You can delete the other `povray-*` files if you want.

To render a POV file simply drag and drop it on `render.bat`
while in the Explorer window, and you'll see a command window
open where the rendering progress is shown. When rendering
is done the window will display a message indicating the
time for trace.

Alternatively, you can open a new command window inside this
folder and type:

    render.bat C:\your\file.pov

then press [Enter].


Using POV-Ray on Linux
======================

Rename the appropriate binary file for your machine to `povray`
You can delete the other `povray-*` files if you want.
You may need to set the binary as executable, by either running:

    chmod +x ./povray

inside this folder or going to the binary's file properties
and enabling the "execute" option.

To render a POV file simply launch `render.sh` and a terminal
window will open, drag and drop your POV file into that window
then press [Enter], and the rendering progress will be shown.
When rendering is done the window will display a message
indicating the time for trace.

Alternatively, you can open a new terminal window inside this
folder and type:

    render.sh /your/file.pov

then press [Enter].
