Thanks FlyerX. I posted a message on the Bishop3D forum to let people know.

   Thanks, works great here. I was just finishing a tutorial which included 
instructions on using Poseray as exporter, and now I have to change these as 
I was writing it for 3.11... :) But at least it will save some lines on the 
tutorial, as the process is now shorter and easier. Thanks again!

I've become quite dependent on PoseRay for model conversions over the last
couple of years, but I haven't tried the lightdome features at all. I was just
looking at your gallery and see I need to experiment a bit with that...

Anyway, thanks for putting together such a great package FlyerX, your efforts
are greatly appreciated, PoseRay is awesome!

I am glad you find PoseRay useful. I never got radiositiy or Megapov's 
hrdi lighting to work for me satisfactorily so I have been using light 
domes for a while now. Although it is not as accurate a representation 
the lighting effect is very similar in many cases.

I do not have any artistic ability and the pictures on my galley are 
just test renders that have come up better than I expected. Hopefully 
someone with talent can create some nice images using light domes. I 
included two light dome files in the PoseRay distribution.

Excellent program. Used it last night to convert a .3ds file exported from 
Blender to POV-Ray. I like the way you handle the materials. I did something 
similar with a exporter for Animation Master and it makes it so much easier 
to touch-up the exported files.

I am testing the conversion of Dynamic Hair from Poser towards POV-Ray. Just 
using the default settings for converting lines into tubes, I get the 
following parse error in POV-Ray:

File: Name_POV_geom.inc Line: 60
File Context (5 lines):
<vector>,0,1
<vector>,
Parse Error: Float expected but vector or color expression found.


This refers to the first sphere_sweep in the file, which looks like this:

#declare poseraylinegroup=union{
sphere_sweep{cubic_spline
20
<0.916469,74.4353,2.32733>,0,1

<0.460655,71.5026,2.10074>,0,1
}

My hunch is that it is the tolerance parameter which is at fault here?

In POV-Ray Output \ Export \ Save

Checking or unchecking the <Overwrite files> option does not work. Files are 
overwritten without notice in both cases.

Testing this further, I find that there is a conversion bug or a writing to 
POV-Ray bug. The output should be:

<0.916469,74.4353,2.32733>,0.1

instead of:

<0.916469,74.4353,2.32733>,0,1

In addition, the sweep thickness values for the root and tip diameters are 
not converted correctly, probably as a result of the above. Whatever changes 
are given, the result always remains <vector>,0,1
