Povray.

Well, I've installed this app to give it a try and see what I could do with it. But executing it in the console gave back a help message.

What do I have to do to get a frontend working?

See ya.

Re: Povray.

i didnt think povray had a frontend... it was math based....

try grabbing "fyre" - it's much more fun to mess with

Re: Povray.

Err... what? I didn't see anything like that in the documentation.

If I want to start creating some graphics, what do I have to do in the first place? Add some parameters to Povray when I execute it at the console or what?

Re: Povray.

I thought povray was an interpreter... or compiler... or whatever you want to call it - like you make a text file with all the rendering info and then run "povray /some/file/to/render.x" - I've never used it, I'm just saying what I thought...

That is correct. It takes a text file that is coded in such a manner as to render an image when the code is compiled by povray. There used to be an online manual for povray. Beware though that you should be pretty good at math to use povray.
