Hi

I have been working with making a spore creature and then export it in .mesh
file. Then I convert it with uu3d to the .obj format.

So I want to render my creature which is named creature a.obj and uses an dds
texture file...

But it writes this to me

//==================================================

}

The #declare part is in yellow. I presume that povray dont like dds texture
files.

I have tried converting the dds to tga but that made the texture all blue and
not colourfull. It did not work.

So I want to hear if there is a way of using .dds texture files in povray. Is
there some plugin or files I can install to make it accept these kind of
texture files.

Hope you can help and please remember I am really a povray newb aswell as within
3d programs.
