Just a quick tip for Moray users: Change Moray.ini .  In it there is a
setting which reads Histogram_Type=X ; NONE .  Change this to read
Histogram_Type=
Otherwise Pov3.5 will generate an error.

The icon of the WinPov 3.5 binary certainly looks a LOT better than the
one of 3.1... :)

Hmm, some great new wood textures could be made with what Warp was 
describing.  

Even more to explore, and I don't even understand all the stuff from
3.1g yet:-)

Oh, I dunno. A lot of them have been around in MegaPOV for a while now;
even if the syntax is different, the concepts are largely familiar. For
instance, I've been using patterns as functions (and vice-versa) for months.

Can I use UV mapping with mesh (not mesh2)?  I ask this because I'm thinking
of purchasing Rhino 2.0 and would like to be able to map textures on to
exported Rhino meshes.

I wish I could consider purchasing Rhino 2.0. :-/ 
It's a testament to POV-Rays greatness that someone who's considering
buying a $795 modelling package is using a free Raytracer.

Export the rhino object as obj and convert to pov using pose2pov.
That converts the object to uv-mapped mesh 2. I've been using
that whith Rhino for a few months and it works fine.
