Message: <3f11b932$1@news.povray.org>
was uv_smooth_triangle ever a primitive? I got a older program that exports
.inc files and that was one of the options.
uv_smooth_triangle ( <-3.2179, 5.8052, -27.8675>, <-0.7918, 0.4379, 0.4257>,
<0.9783, 0.6857>, <-3.2566, 5.5263, -27.8693>, <-0.9047, -0.0167, 0.4257>,
<0.9783, 0.4762>, <-3.0931, 5.5454, -32.6566>, <-0.9047, 0.0167, -0.4257>,
<0.1949, 0.4762> )

if I dont use that it gives me:

smooth_triangle { <-3.4553, 3.3033, -13.4614>, <-0.9905, 0.1357, -0.0202>,
<-5.4792, 2.6258, -7.2014>, <-0.9430, 0.3181, -0.0980>, <-4.7599,
0.4097, -7.4195>, <-0.7329, -0.6430, -0.2224> }


Any ideas?

I've posted the generated include file to povray.binaries.scene-files

No.

That's not a primitive, it's a macro. uv_smooth_triangle() is defined 
somewhere, either at the beginning of that file or in another file it 
includes.

I guess that "older program" is Jan Walter's POVEXPORT.PY program. 

The macro is in TRIMAP.MCR by Chris Colefax. You can find a copy at
<http://www.janw.gothere.uk.com/download.html> Right next to the
POVEXPORT.PY link there's a TRIMAP.ZIP link.

Actually the 'older' program is Milkshape 3d 1.6.6a. But I'll look at that
link.
