POVRAY CONDOR

• Author: John Ed Quinn (git: johnedquinn) (ndid: jquinn13)

Description

• This tool, povray_condor, renders a long movie quickly by submitting each frame to be rendered as a separate Condor job.

Project Structure

• The project creates a workspace in the project's working directory.
• The main program submits a generated .submit file to condor specifying the multiple renders needed to be completed.
• Output files returned by the executing machine are stored within the workspace.
• The program then renders the .png files into an output file (.mpg).
• Note: to preserve the workspace, modify the global PRESERVE_WORKSPACE in povray_condor.

POVray

• The file atom.pov was taken from the POVray Collection. The specific item is Buckyball.
