The POV-Wiki is now back online and is running the latest version of MediaWiki. Additionally we have restored our legacy bugtracker, which tracked issues prior to moving our source code to GitHub.

Latest manuals, catalogs, and softwares are available for download. Please select your country or region. Apple has doubled down on making hardware for professional filmmakers and they saw Cine Tracer as an important part of that eco system. You can read my ‘Pro App Developer’ quote on the Mac Pro press room post. My vision for Cine Tracer includes ‘indie virtual production’ but that term is still pretty foreign to most filmmakers. Mactracker provides detailed information on every Apple Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad ever made, including items such as processor speed, memory, graphic cards, supported OS versions, price, storage, and expansion options. Cine Tracer is a real time cinematography simulator made with Unreal Engine. The hybrid game/app gives the user control of real world based cameras and lights to visualize realistic scenes and capture them to storyboards.

The www.povray.org site is now back in read-write mode. User logins should work, however please note the forums are still offline.

We'd like to give a massive THANKS! to Netplex for going above and beyond in getting us back up on new hardware.

Our server recently experienced a catastrophic hardware failure, resulting in the need for a replacement and recovery from backup.

No data has been lost but as the new system uses a newer version of PHP and MySQL, plus has other related changes, the restoration will be done in steps. Currently the site is running in read-only mode without a database. We will restore services as soon as we can.

Please note this also affects other sites hosted here such as news.povray.org and irtc.org. We will bring them back up once the main site is back to normal.
