thanks for your help. i'm an idiot. i've read the docs so many times
that i don't see everything that's there, if you know what i mean. i
didn't realize that a solid mesh is actually an object. i had focused
on the 'mesh can be used in csg' part only. so now that the mesh is a
solid object, it looks great! now if i can just figure out all of the
export settings for 3dwin. i made the mesh using spatch and exporting
as dxf. then in 3ds i made sure the normals were all facing out of the
object, but didn't change anything else (i want this to be as much a pov
only model as i can). in 3ds, my compound curves are perfectly smooth.
when i export as a 3ds and then use 3dwin to convert to moray, i can't
seem to get the same level of smoothness. likewise with 3ds2pov which i
believe you helped develop. any tips for getting a mesh or mesh2
(depending i guess on which converter i use) to look exactly like the
3ds file? thanks again.
