Hi,

I'm working on a Povray exporter for my 3d app.  It currently can export
meshes with smooth triangles, but I want to export texture coordinates
as well.  How is that done in povray?

Any hints?

I think that it's enough to post in just one group.

I don't know if it's the right thing but you can take a look on Chris
Colefax' pages. He relesed a triangle mapping macro which will work with
standard POV.

Thanks!  I guess this one should work.  The super patch didn't work properly.
I had to download the DJGPP version, which doesn't show any messages or
something.  I didn't install POV-Ray for Windows, because its installer
overwrites some important DLL's, which kills VC 6.

Say what?  I use VC6 here and I've never had a problem with losing anything.
The POV-Ray for Windows installer doesn't overwrite any system DLLs that I
know of.

  Ron, I'm fairly certain that POVWin installs only into its own directory
and not into the \Windows\System directory, so I don't think it would be
overwriting system files.
