I am trying to get a model from the game Counter Strike into moray for use
within a scene. I have managed to convert it to the 3ds format using
milkshape3d and then to mdl format using 3dwin. As soon as I try to render I
get an error in the message frame in povray saying it cant open one of the
include files and I should use the +L switch blah blah. I have entered into
moray the location of all the includes that 3dwin creates but still no
render (and same error message). Has anyone else encountered this problem
and can tell me how to overcome it, or am I just being dumb : /

Thanx in advance

Dave

You didn't really say but since they're offered together in 3dwin, I'm
guessing you 'did' remember to export the corresponding .pov/.inc files
while you were exporting the .mdl, right?

Are you saying that I should do two seperate exports? when I export the mdl,
include files are created within the folder I am saving too, I  did not
think I need to do any more. I will give this a go.

Thank You

Dave

Thank you very much that did the trick :)

Thanx again.
