1.2. What's new

MegaPOV 1.0 is a fresh start, based on the sources of POV-Ray™ 3.5. This means that not all features of MegaPOV 0.7 are implemented yet. Another consequence is that for several features the new syntax of POV-Ray™ 3.5 is now used. Here is a list of added features:

  1. Features in MegaPOV 0.7 that didn't make it in POV-Ray™ 3.5, but which are back in MegaPOV 1.0;

  2. PoPOV has joined MegaPOV.

  3. Additional tokens in function syntax (see Section 2.2.2.1)
  4. Text object alignment (horizontal and vertical) (see Section 2.3.3.1)
  5. Polynomial solver in parser (see Section 2.2.5)
  6. Message control for max_gradient in isosurface (see Section 2.3.5.1)
  7. Film exposure simulation (see Section 2.6.1)
  8. Frame_Step feature (see Section 2.1.1)
  9. Changed behavior of radiosity cache in animation (see Section 2.6.2.1)
  10. The Clothray cloth simulation patch (see Section 2.3.4)
  11. The Sim-POV mechanics simulation patch (see Section 2.6.3)
