POV-Ray is a program that creates three-dimensional, photorealistic images using a technique called ray tracing. The program reads text files that store information describing the object and scene lighting, and generates the scene from a specific camera location (which is also described in the file). The scene description language is very similar to C++.

a very poor quality very slow web page, and I do not think it is safe to browse it. I personally had never heard of this web site and I do not trust it. Very risky for me.

The POV Ray (which stands for persistance of vision raytracer) is a free software add on that can be used to make three dimensional graphics. It requires Windows XP or later to run. It is written in C++ and was first released in 1991. It can be used by people wanting to learn how computer graphics algorithms work. It could be a useful tool for kids wanting to break into computer programming.
