Free open source photo-realistic ray tracer.

Create POV-Ray files with Caedium Viz Export.

To automatically launch POV-Ray to produce a ray-traced image when you export a POV-Ray file ensure that:

1. POV-Ray is installed.
2. The POV-Ray location preference in Caedium is correct by selecting File->Preferences and then in the Properties Panel select and set the Export->POV-Ray property to point to the POV-Ray executable. The POV-Ray 3.6.2 for Windows default executable installation location on Windows Vista and Windows 7 is:
   C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\POV-Ray\v3.6\bin\pvengine64
3. In POV-Ray choose your resolution and anti-aliasing setting from the pull-down list, e.g., [1024x768, AA 0.3]
4. For parallel movie frame rendering in Caedium ensure the following POV-Ray settings are satisfied:
   • Render->On Completion->Exit POV-Ray for Windows = true
   • Options->Keep Single Instance = false
   • Options->Script I/O Restrictions->No Restrictions = true
   • Options->Render Window->Auto Close = true
