unfortunatelly they use dev versions of plenty
of libraries and provide no executable for macOS.
That requires time to bild all of them :P

Last time I looked, PovRay was using ancient ray tracing techniques. I
used to benchmark Alpha machines with PovRay back in the 1990s.

At around the same time I wrote RayLab [1] to learn linear algebra, and
C. RayLab was very similar to PovRay, and I wouldn't hold it as an
example of a useful nor relevant ray tracer.

If you want something lean and free of dependencies, have a look at
SmallPT [2].

Oh Great! Okay, well, would you be willing to run some of my povray
(*.pov) files that I will put up on my website? Fwiw, My C++ generates
them. We can run a benchmark. Your M1 should murder my little i5 on my
older piece of shit laptop! lol.

Parse Warning: This scene had other declarations preceding the first
#version directive. Please be aware that as of POV-Ray 3.7, unless
already specified via an INI option, a #version is expected as the first
declaration
in a scene file. If this is not done, POV-Ray may apply compatibility
settings to some features that are intended to make pre-3.7 scenes
render as designed. You are strongly encouraged to add a #version
statement to the
scene to make your intent clear. Future versions of POV-Ray may make the
presence of a #version mandatory.

1.533 seconds is still, kicking ass and taking names!

I will generate another scene, however, I need to make my C++ program
generate some more advanced features of PovRay. There is a way to code
in PovRay.

https://wiki.povray.org/content/HowTo:Use_macros_and_loops

As is, my C++ might generate a 40mb+ file for what I have in mind.

That's 2700X 8core desktop processor.
M1 has 1.899 secs, above.

Thank you very much! I just need decide on one of my fractals, then my
program will generate reams of povray code! lol.
