FAQ

[Last updated on 4 Jan 2005]

What is the POV-Ray version used in the cluster used for rendering?
MPI POV-Ray 3.1g and PVM POV-Ray 3.5.

How to submit my work?
Participants should submit the POV-Ray source code, the rendered image, and a short write-up to illustrate the image.

What are the file(s) need to be uploaded in the submission portal?
The submission portal has been configured to be able to upload the main .pov file (compulsory), additional files in .zip (other .pov, .png, .inc, etc) (optional), and .ini (optional).

Why I cannot view the rendered image in my web browser?
The rendered .png image from POV-Ray 3.1g (higher version does not have this problem) got some problem to be viewed in Internet Explorer, but it can be viewed in some other browsers. So far, we have tried out in Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, Firefox, and Opera. For PVM POV-Ray output, so far there is no issue on viewing it in any browsers.
