For blender 2.49
Doc pages:
http://jmsoler.free.fr/util/blenderfile/fr/povanim_en.htm
Povanim exports to all these renderers:
#Povray 3.5
#Povray 3.6
#MegaPov 0.7 (with several post process options)
#Megapov 1.0
#Megapov 1.1-beta
#Mlpov 0.83 (very interesting for its "finish_map" not yet exported, maybe in a future version of the script)
#Unofficial Pov-Sub, povray patch with subsurfing option, <b>for blender 2.37 and older only </b>
#PVM (network rendering) option too
This script exports the current file in the $CurrentFileDirectory+"/povanim"
directory .
Usage:
1/ copy the povanim241_06.pyc and the lanc_povanim241.py
files in the $blenderhome+’.blender/scripts directory’
2/ Under Windows, lanc_povanim241.py will find Povray alone
but under linux or mac, users have to edit the lanc_povanim241.py
to change the address of the ‘renderer binary folder path’
(select the name ‘renderer binary folder path’ and do alt-f to
jump to the correct line).
3/ by default to take in account the improvement of a new script
version, povanim uses standard settings but you can
update all of them with the content of a profil file.
At the first launching of the script you have to save this
profil with the dedicated button . After that, exit
and modify the OVERLOADPROFIL and OLDPROFIL variables
(as for the binary path use the alt-f shortcut to jumpt to
the variable line).
241_5d: better area light support Rendered with Blender and areal lights
Rendered in povray with new export of blender’s areal lights

-to avoid error for missing image, i added an export of a “povanimdefaultimg.tga” to replace the not found uvmapped pictures
-List of lanc_povanim.py's windows was reordonned correctly .
-Pointer on vertices can be “indefined” . On linux, this returns a “nan” error that the Povanim script converted in a "<,>,
" line . This kind of declaration stops Povray and the user can try to remove the faulted vertex . But, it seems that this method is not clear enough so, now, it will return a normal and transparent "<-1.0,-1.0,-1.0>,
" . This is limited to linux (and perhaps mac) under win32 systems the nan errors are translated in -1.0 .

Comparison in GIMP using layers, black line shows the difference
-
Correction of the bitperpixel in the lanc_povanim.py’s menu for output file selection ( 5 was always returned ) .
-
In the CVS version (will work with Blender 2.42 the function getWinRenderSize() was added in the APi the 2006/04/27, export of the winrendersize dimension 25,50,75 or 100 percents .

249_01.g, 20/08/2009
- mesh duplicopy export with material .
249_01.h, 21/08/2009
- mesh duplicopy export from same parent.

mesh duplicopy animation
249_02b, 06/09/2009
update for linux users.
249_02c and d , 23/09/2009
modifs to export a correct ini file for povray 3.7.
249_02e :
try to correct launcher problems with v3.7 beta on a few win xp configs.
249_02f-p26 and 249_02f-p25 , 06/10/2009
- a lot of modif to control if filename is saved or not and to manage darwin use. It could works but under mac intel os, unix version of povray does not like the space character in a path so it can’t find the povray.conf and the exported ini file.
