Couple of questions: is there a povray for intel macs? Has anyone used it on mac? Want to help me get started with it if it exists? please?

for intel macs: (you will have to copy the link into your address bar)

use google!!

also, Hampa runs a mac (non-intel) and I believe the way to get it working (if it doesnt) is compile from source.

I do povray on Intel mac (command line only).

If you want gui and more cowbell you should check out mega povs intel binary:

I keep getting errors with inc files, like Parse Error: Expected 'identifier or expression.', length found instead
and with custom ones it doesent find a color file (on megapov) help...?

length seems to be a reserved word in mega pov.

Try replacing length with lenght2 like this:

// LEGS
#macro BodyCapsule (r, g, b, Radius, length2, rot0, rot3, rot6, rot1, rot4, rot7, rot2, rot5, rot8, rot9, rot10, rot11)
union {
	cylinder { 
		<0,0,-length2*0.5>, 
		<0, 0, length2 - length2*0.5>, 
		Radius
	}
	sphere  { <0, 0, -length2*0.5>, Radius }
	sphere  { <0, 0, length2 - length2 *0.5>, Radius }
...........

Thank you all for help, on my way to downloading megapov.

Thanks hampa, where do i enter frames for animations?

edit: nvm, rendering menu.
