Hello,

Just discovered a free modeller (openfx.org). I want to know if a smooth
export is possible to POVRAY!

Has anyone tried this yet? Is it worth the download and learning curve?
Comments from anyone on it?

I downloaded it on a t1 pretty fast, but as with most modelling programs,
the interface confuses me. It's possible that its quite a worthwile program,
but there's probably more of a learning curve than I would want to go
through.

 Tried it, but so far don't like it. Everything seems to work a little 
different than I expect. When I do something wrong, half of the messages 
it throws at me, leave me clueless.
 You need the mouse for everything. Can't somebody build a modeler where 
you can just type in coordinates, like in a CAD programm?
 It's a complete package with everything on it. Way too big for me. 
Personally I prefer small dedicated modelers for 'one' task, sPatch, 
Spilin Editor, SoftText etc.
 Still looking for an old 3d Studio like lofter.

I tried it, but have removed from my system now. Render quality was very
poor I thought. Could be I just didn't try hard enough, but I don't think
that was the problem. Some of the plug-ins were poor: Lens Flare was just
plain ugly. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but as I stated in an earlier mail,
POV is also free, and yet it's output is nothing short of excellent. We are
spoiled by having POV, but for that I am thankful :-)

I'm still downloading it but it looks like it could be a good modeller, well
at least easier to learn than modelling in Pov. I see the source code is
available. maybe someone could make it use Pov as a renderer, then you could
have the best of both programs.

I still want to learn C++ but I guess I'll have to learn another language
first, just to get acquainted with programming again. I took one look at a
C++ tutorial and was totally lost.
