I just converted a dxf file to a pov file and when I try to run it, I
get :
error : No matching }in texture, color found instead.


and the cursor moves to the word color below. Any suggestions ?


  object {
    triangle { <-15296.434696 -9946.807743 3759.210205> <-14578.014218
-10665.228220 3759.210205> <-14506.172171 -10593.386172 3759.210205> }
    texture { Dull
      color red 0.603175 green 0.523810 blue 0.301587
    }
  }

First of all this is the wrong group for such questions, better ask in
povray.general or povray.new-users.

Then your texture does not make sense.  Either write

texture {
  pigment { color red 0.603175 green 0.523810 blue 0.301587 }
}

or

texture {
  Dull
}

if you previously declared a texture named 'Dull'.

you can't use texture identifier and change color of pigment in the same time

texture specification is listed in:
http://www.povray.org/working-docs/id000376.html#10_1_10
and is explained in:
http://www.povray.org/working-docs/id000185.html#6_7

btw, groups destination is described shortly in:
http://news.povray.org/
and explained more in:

Others have pointed out that this is the wrong group and the problem with
your texture code, but your triangle code probably won't work right
either. The vector statements you use are missing the commas...POV will
attempt to make sense out of them, but probably not in the way you expect.

White space doesn't mean anything to POV when evaluating an expression.
"<1 2 3>" will be read as "< 1, 2, 3>" because POV can tell they are
separate numbers, but "< 1 -2 3>" will be read as "< 1-2, 3>". You should
always use commas.

It is easy to see that none of you who have answered this thread have
ever worked with POV-Ray v1.0 files before. :)

So that's the problem ?

I used one of those conversion utils to convert the file to POV... probably the
new Povray doesn't understand those old files anymore...

Greetings,

I have not checked your particular problem, but did you try the version
switch?
