Cutter Application
Cutter application controls are selected at the lower left. The first data entry field expects the name of the POV-Ray include file already made by Gen - the objects. The second data entry field expects the name of the POV-Ray include file to be made by Cutter - the optimized objects. The third data entry field is filled by the camera.pov stub file made by saving the Camera or Lights settings. Cutter uses the camera parameters in camera.pov. Sliders adjust max and min distance for object optimization, by eliminating object features not present within the adjusted window. Reducing the number of objects to be processed optimizes POV-Ray rendering. Camera parameters define the cone. Then objects beyond max distance are eliminated. All objects surrounding the camera within min distance sphere radius are preserved. The final data entry field is filled by the name of a POV-Ray include file to be made after Cutter, containing the scale-adjusted objects. Sliders adjust integer and fraction parts of growth or shrinkage. Entire object population size is adjusted, while preserving Gen proportions. Click the brighter Cutter button to create the POV-Ray include files, or regenerate those files after further adjustment. The POV-Ray files are parsed and used for a refreshed display of Cutter-selected objects, with Camera and Lights. See the Cutter output screenshot below. Cutter application controls are autumn orange. |
