Huh? No! Moray doesn't convert anything (except mdl to pov :-)
maybe you mean the 3DWin that comes with Moray?

To the original poster:

There is currently no way to convert a POV-Ray 3.0 scene to any other
format! Sorry.

I think Crossroads (is that the name?) can convert 2.2 POV, but I'm not
sure.

3DWin can convert POB, but it will only recognize triangles and meshes of
triangles in the POB file. All other objects will be ignored on import into
3DWin and thus not exported either.
So converting POV to POB and then POB to 3DS doesn't help either, because
during the second step you loose everything in the scene that is not a
triangle.

Sorry, but that's how it is at the moment...

Johannes.
