Hi Robert,


library paths have quotes around the path.
E.g. Library_Path="E:\Graphics\B3D Data\Scenes\Tena Chep\Dream". And 
these only refer to the folder not a file.


PovRay along with the scene.pov file. So there is no need to put them in 


What happens if you try to render a simple scene with say just a box, 
camera and a light source? Because this would not need other files, it 
should render OK.

Moray will export two files in the directory (folder) the Moray scene is 
saved in. If this scene is not rendered then open both the 

the active tab press RUN. PovRay should render this without any extra 

If not look in the PovRay messages window/tab and look for error messages.

Before you do, in PovRay, Options > Script I/O Restrictions > Allow 
Read, Restricted Write
And
Options > Editor Window, select Auto-Reload Error file
This will jump the focus to any like in the Pov file that causes an error.

BTW there is a separate group for Moray on these newsgroups called moray.win
