I downloaded it and installed the zip file but cannot find it in user
preferences to activate it.
Using Blender Ver. 2.78.
Any tips?

unpack zip file
move the "povray" folder to
if installer blender-278:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\AppData\Roaming\Blender
Foundation\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons
if zip file blender-278:
\path\to\blender-2.78x-windowsxx\2.78\scripts\addons
Blender start. Go to user preferences -> add-ons -> render -> check
Render:Povray with BlendPov-alternative exporter.
If error -> uncheck official addon, save user setting and restart Blender and
check Render:Povray with BlendPov-alternative exporter.
If you get a clean file .pov, the failure gives the exporter script.
I will need your file to the scene of the blender

Blender Physics? This is an outside program? Not part of POV-Ray?

Yes it is a free program with suit of modelling/animation modules and more.
https://www.blender.org/
There is a team developing a PovRay exporter to render directly using
PovRay.
Blender Physics is an implementation of Bullet Physics.
http://bulletphysics.org/wordpress/
In the first animation I exported all of the Blender objects and
converted the OBJ files to Mesh2 using PoseRay. Then I rendered them in
Pov. The other couple of animations were done using Blender's internal
renderer.

Thank you that worked. I got it installed and working.
I did an upgrade to Blender 2.78b to get a clean copy of the official
exporter. I still have a problem with the Physics tab. Selecting a mesh
and clicking the "bouncing ball" icon. There is nothing there. No
buttons for the different types of physics systems. A blank underneath
the properties. Both in your version and in the official one.
I will think about it while I get more experience using the Blender
Renderer. I need to know how it should work first.
Thanks for your time.

Maybe you noticed that once you set things up in Blender Internal and switch
back to POV your physics still export properly? It's a good thing to start
learning Blender internal, as the official exporter has some intent to emulate
it.
Thanks for the report! (and proof that we need more) It's solved and will be
committed to source when I get back to my computer. The below code was missing
line 52 of ui.py in render_povray :
# wrapping every class 'as is'
from bl_ui import properties_physics_common
for member in dir(properties_physics_common):
subclass = getattr(properties_physics_common, member)
try:
subclass.COMPAT_ENGINES.add('POVRAY_RENDER')
except:
pass
del properties_physics_common

No, I did not notice that before. Thanks for pointing it out.
When I press the animation button. Nothing happens except the UV/image
editor window sits there. Unless I set the output to a movie format when
it renders the frames (then deletes them) but no movie file is saved. At
least I could not find the unique name I used.

There is a lot of learning in Blender. The rigid body physics is similar
to Poser physics so that is okay. The animation module layout is not
intuitive, to me. And the UV mapping. I am getting the hang of it but it
does not seem right that you wrap a spherical mapping on a globe,
initially but set the texture to a flat mapping.
Q. Why do I have to have emission greater than zero to see detail on the
rendered output when using UV mapping and ambient seems to have no effect?

I am still waiting to get feedback on my previous reports so I can retest.

I inserted these lines with two blank lines above and below.
I saw no difference to the Physics tab.
My ui.py file is now 1680 lines and 79.2 KB

Now it's committed back to trunk (ou can get a snapshot here:
https://git.blender.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi/blender-addons.git/tree/refs/heads/master:/render_povray
Does it solve your issue?

It might have or it might be that I got my knickers in a twist with the
addon folders over the versions.
Following my usual quick and dirty backup methods. I copied the folder
to the parent folder as a copy. When I updated render_povray it was the
same and the material tab was empty. Then I moved the backup folders and
it works the way it should.
Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
