@Gaziel : Totalement, #Povray ne tourne que sur le #CPU, il ne peut pas utiliser le #GPU.
Et c'est un troll récurent :
- bogossdu93 « et pourquoi vous n'utilisez pas le GPU ? »
- teamPOV « #stfu ou va écrire le code »

@tth@tube.interhacker.space : Et elle est en phase finale, il ne me reste qu'un peu de tuning sur le générique à faire. Par contre le rendu #povray s'est fait sans anti-#aliasing pour de sombres raisons de temps de #calcul, la qualité de l'image n'est donc pas optimale...

@povable My workflow:

I use rule-based generators that transform a domain specific language into another programming language. For example, into the SDL of Pov-Ray.

One example is the Grow project, for which I still need to create a POV-Ray export template.
https://gitlab.com/metagrowing/grow/-/blob/master/doc/grow_intro.pdf?ref_type=heads

An old example is the Kandid project.
https://kandid.sourceforge.net/gal_povisosurface_1.html

The syntax highlighting in Kate is enough for me to view the generated source code.
I have Blender 4.1 with the POV-Ray addon.

@tth Ok, je me lance...

Un petit truc sympa avec #povray et ce qu'on peut faire avec la directive #macro :

#declare Rng1 = seed(1337);
#macro Bubble ()
sphere {
	0, 0.10
	#if ( rand(Rng1) < 0.5 )	pigment { color Cyan }
	#else				pigment { color Magenta }
	#end
	}
#end
#macro Un_Machin ()
union	{
	#for (Y, -8, 8, 2)
	    object { Bubble() translate y*Y*0.1 }
	#end
	}
#end
#declare Les_Machins = object
{
union	{
	#for (X, -7, 7)
	    object { Un_Machin() translate x*X*0.6 }
	#end
	}
}
object { Les_Machins }

@HydrePrever : Installer #Povray pour faire du #raytracing ?

@Blender @inkscape @godotengine

And now we also have d4 dices. Generalizations are nice. Provided a mesh, a function to build a collision shape, and a relation of dice values to orientations you get a new dice shape. I feel coding easier than modeling and drawing I miss old #povray times. godot-dice-roller 1.2.0 is about to be released.

I discovered Persistence of Vision around 1992. (later switched to Blender)

There are two things i appreciate about POV-ray after all these years.

a) The Screen Description Language

b) The Isosurface Object

Basically, my self-built tools are an attempt to compensate for the lack in Blender.

a) Grow as a limited rule-based Screen Description Language.

b) The Volume Assembler as a replacement for the Isosurface Object.
