71POV-RayUser interfaceUnimp. Feature/TODO3.70 beta 34Very LowLowraise warning when command line option has no effectTracked on GitHub
0%
Task Description

Warnings should be raised when a command line option has no effect,
for example...

pvengine +am

is legal, but without the number after it, it has no effect.

pvengine +am7

should be an error, and also raises no warnings.

 69 POV-RayOtherCompatibility IssueNot applicableVery LowLow #version fails to raise error Closed
100%
Task Description

Scenes starting with the incorrect syntax

version 3.7;

do not raise an error, instead they render a black screen with an empty scene warning.
#version should fail with an error when the # is missing.

 53 POV-RayGeometric PrimitivesDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium Blob trace level Closed
100%
Task Description

It appears that reflective bounces from blobs are
not incrementing the trace level, causing self-
reflecting hall of mirror portions to stall renders.

 33 POV-RayParser/SDLDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowLow parse accepting invalid vector float components Closed
100%
Task Description

The parser is missing extra period characters when it parses a float as a vector component.

#local sample = <0.0.0.1,0,0>;

Doesn’t generate an error, but should.

 32 POV-RayOtherDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium tiff file extention error Closed
100%
Task Description

The parser is failing to read the .tiff file extension from the input string...

bump_map { tiff "earth03_hf2.tiff" }

Results in file not found, but

bump_map { tiff "earth03_hf2" }

will find the file. It might be that it’s not a three character extension?

 31 POV-RayTexture/Material/FinishDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium function pattern in image map Closed
100%
Task Description

Function use in image maps is broken.

The following should result in a white and green checkered unit square, but is transparent.

camera {
   location  <0.0, 0.5, -4.0>
   direction 1.5*z
   right     x*image_width/image_height
   look_at   <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
}

background {rgb <1,1,1>}

light_source {
  <-30, 10, -30>           
  color rgb <1, 1, 1> 
}

plane {y,-1 pigment{checker rgb <1,0,0> rgb <1,0.5,0.5> }}

plane {y,-0.99 
 pigment {
  image_map { 
   function 10,10 { 
    pigment {checker rgb <0,1,0>, rgb <1,1,1> scale 0.1}
   }
   once 
  }
  rotate <90,0,0>
 }
}
28POV-RayFrontendFeature Request3.70 beta 32Very LowLow#debug message not displayed.Tracked on GitHub
0%
Task Description

The #debug message stream is only being flushed when it hits a newline character,
instead of after each #debug statement. This means that some final strings don’t show up.

#debug "This line prints,\n but this line doesn't."
20POV-RayUser interfaceFeature Request3.70 beta 32Very LowVery Lowrender window behaviorTracked on GitHub
0%
Task Description

When changing the behavior of the render window, “Keep above main”, requires restarting the POV editor to take effect. It would be nice either to get a warning to restart, or to get it to work without restarting.

 19 POV-RayTexture/Material/FinishFeature Request3.70 beta 32Very LowLow AOI pattern Closed
100%
Task Description

Adding an AOI pattern is asked for fairly frequently.

 18 POV-RayDistributionCompatibility Issue3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium read only files in distribution Closed
100%
Task Description

Array.inc and subsurface.pov are in read only mode, they probably should have normal permissions.

 17 POV-RayTexture/Material/FinishPossible Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowLow square blotches in transparency Closed
100%
Task Description

There can be square (32×32) blotches in partially transparent objects.

global_settings {
   max_trace_level 10
}

camera { 
   location <-30,10,5> 
   look_at <0,0,0>

}


light_source {

}

difference { // make a dome
  sphere { <0,0,0> 5 }  // ball
  sphere { <0,0,0> 4.9 } // hollow interior
  box { <-6,-6,-6> <6,1,6>  pigment { rgb <0,0,0> }}  // chop off bottom half
  pigment { rgbt <1,1,1,0.675> }
}

box { 
   <-6,-6,-6>, <6,0.99,6> 
   pigment { rgb <1,1,1> } 
   rotate <0,45,0>
} // sit it on a box
 16 POV-RayTexture/Material/FinishDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium reflective texture map crash Closed
100%
Task Description

Reflective texture maps can cause a stack overflow crash.

sphere{0,1
  texture{
   bozo
   texture_map{
    [0 pigment{rgb 0}]
    [1 pigment{rgb 0} finish{reflection 1}]
   }
  }
}
 15 POV-RayGeometric PrimitivesDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium julia fractal, trace and inside cause crash Closed
100%
Task Description

Using trace or inside with a julia fractal causes a crash.

#declare Test = julia_fractal {
  <-0.083,0.0,-0.83,-0.025>
  quaternion
  cube 
  max_iteration 8
  precision 20
};
#declare Norm = <0,0,0>;
#declare Hit = trace(Test,<0,0,-10>,z,Norm);
#declare Center = inside(Test,<0,0,0>); 
 14 POV-RayTexture/Material/FinishDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium coincident transparency issue Closed
100%
Task Description

Overlapping partially transparent objects can result in speckled shadows.
Rays shouldn’t leak through the coincident areas, they should return one
of the two textures. This was correct in 3.6.

#declare testmat = material { texture {
      pigment {color <1,0,0> transmit 0.5}
}};

camera { location  <1.0, 2.0, -4.0>
   direction 1.5*z
   right     x*image_width/image_height
   look_at   <1.0, -0.2,  0.0>
   angle 30 }

light_source {<-10, 10, -5> color rgb <1, 1, 1>}

plane {y,-1 pigment{rgb <1,1,1>}}

union {
   sphere {<0.0,0,0>,0.5 material{testmat}}
   sphere {<0.1,0,0>,0.5 material{testmat}}
   sphere {<0.2,0,0>,0.5 material{testmat}}
   sphere {<0.3,0,0>,0.5 material{testmat}}
   sphere {<0.4,0,0>,0.5 material{testmat}}
   sphere {<0.5,0,0>,0.5 material{testmat}}
}
 13 POV-RayOtherDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowMedium 4k files crash Closed
100%
Task Description

Files of exactly 4k length can cause a full crash exception when opened.

 12 POV-RayTexture/Material/FinishDefinite Bug3.70 beta 32Very LowVery Low facets pattern in normal map Closed
100%
Task Description

Using a facet pattern in a normal map results in a unspecified error in Evaluate_TPat at the render stage.
This probably should be caught at parse time to give a more descriptive error and a line number.

Example:

sphere {
  0, 1
  texture{
    pigment{rgb <1,1,1>}   
    normal {
      facets
      normal_map {
         [0 bumps ]
         [0.5 facets ]
         [1 bumps ]
      }
    } 
  }
}
