  You should probably contact the author with regard to this issue.

Yes, I am primarily interested in the ability to integrate with Povray's
functions (radiosity, import, export to pov, etc.).

I had Moray, I liked it very much,. I sent a letter to the folks at Moray
about restoring my key and registration but got no reply. . besides, Moray
is about 30% more $ than the rest.

I would say faster and <seemingly> more stable. I am using a NVIDIA ti 4600
and the Linux kernel 2.4.20 I get some screen corruption when I engage the
openGL function of the driver provided by NVIDIA (sometimes)  I don't think
going to .22 will help this.

In case you did not noticed this there are dedicated groupd on this server for
moray. It can be that Moray maintainers can look here more often than to some
mailbox. Supports works their own ways ;-)

I like Moray, and the upgrade price is discounted significantly from the 
list price.  Also check out the Open Source tools.

I use Moray (upgraded to version 3.5 recently). If you had Moray in the
past,
you only have to learn the new features (mesh editor, basically) and enjoy
others (OpenGL views, p.e.).
I think is the best modeller for Povray.
The evaluation version is not limited in any way (AFAIK), so you can use it
and decide.
Povlab, also AFAIK, is freeware since 2 or 3 years ago but it stopped its
development and it is still frozen.
I tried 3d canvas long ago, but it was so buggy that I forgot about it.
I haven't tried AC3D.

IMHO Moray is the best. Apart of it, I use freeware modellers like:
Hamapatch, Anim8or, Wings3d and utilities like Poseray or UVMapper.
Hope this helps.

Hi Thomas Barnes, you recently wrote in povray.general:

Sorry, but I never received any mail from you (but I do have pretty
aggresive spam filters). 

Anyway, it's not a problem to get a copy of the registration email....

Well, it looks like you didn't get a reply this time either... 

The email I sent you bounced and came back.... maybe your mail program
is configured incorrectly? The address I sent it to was thomas.barnes
(at) barnestormer.com
Actually, your domain seems to not be resolvable by our mail server:
 <-- 421 barnestormer.com DNS lookup failed: no name found
 --> QUIT
