Hello.

Hopfully this is not very wrong group, as it seems to be only binary
group, which has relevance for this message ;-)

I have problem with UV-mapping: it seems to me, that it does not work
correctly on surface edges. I use Rhino for creating surfaces and then
export them to .3DS and from it with Win3DS2POV to Pov-Ray format. 
Now, when I compare output from Rhino renderer and from PovRay, then it
could be seen, that on edges, where U and V have small values, texture
mapping is corrupted. I add 2 pictures to illustrate this problem. UV
values run in Rhino model from 0 (green-yellow corner) to 7 (red-blue
corner). 
Is this known problem and/or is there workaround for it? I tested it
with UVPov 5.2. If it helps, then I can send test files for it (texture
map, 3DS file, PovRay files).

Someone else had a similar problem, but I was unable to find the problem
at that point.  Hopefully I will this time.  That person was also doing
a Rhino->3ds->POV conversion, so the problem may be in one of the steps
of the conversion process.  But I won't rule out UV-Pov.  I'd rather
you not email the files (limited disk space on the server holding my
email), but if you could post here or in the scene-files group, I'll
take a closer look.

Hi,

just download a new version of Win3dstopov at 

http://extra.newsguy.com/~tbaier/

I have found a curious bug with UV-mapping conversion.
Very small values are destroyed.

Thank You! This new version corrected the problem. Other Thank You for
writing textures to different file from objects: it was not easy to edit
files with size 12M.
