2017年5月17日 · Persistence Of Vision, or POV, started in 1987 as a Atari ST demo packing and demo writing crew. The crew was formed by Mac Sys Data who wrote virtually all the POV menus. Most people will recognise the POV name but relate it to the now famous ray tracing program that took the same name.

Persistence Of Vision (aka POV) was one of the best demo-packers for the Atari ST. They made 165 compilation disks, most programmed by Mac Sys Data, with members including Ozymandias, Boris, Gonzo, Aly, and Dr Syne. Numerous disks featured music by Tao, Lotus, An Cool, David Whittaker, Ben Daglish, and more.

You should now be able to place various shapes wherever you like in 3D, define their colours and the lighting, and finally raytrace it. In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the basics of a very powerful part of POV-Ray, the Construtive Solid Geometry (CSG), and how to use the supplied textures and colours. What is CSG then?
