 <\/p>\n

Pov-Ray is a script-based open-source ray-tracing-program (www.povray.org).\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I learnt Pov-Ray using the book „3D-Welten, professionelle Animationen und fotorealistische Grafiken mit Raytracing“ from
Toni Lama (Carl Hanser Verlag M\u00fcnchen Wien), 2004.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

More information on Pov-ray is available for example here: https:\/\/sus.ziti.uni-heidelberg.de\/Lehre\/WS2021_Tools\/POVRAY\/POVRAY_PeterFischer.pdf<\/a>,
https:\/\/wiki.povray.org\/content\/Main_Page<\/a>, https:\/\/de.wikibooks.org\/wiki\/Raytracing_mit_POV-Ray<\/a> or, in german language: https:\/\/www.f-lohmueller.de\/pov_tut\/pov__ger.htm<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scripts to most of the topics outlined here are available in my Github-Account<\/a>.<\/p>\n
