Hi all,
in a test model having two pictures UV mapped in Blender37a it seems that
only one of the two elements is exported with Povanim 2.37

Does anybody has an idea what's happening here?
In the ...mat.. file I have only one
         #declare Pimg0=pigment{image_map ... of the first pic ...
but nothing of the second image file.

The result is a "Texture index out of  range in mesh2" when running the ini
file in POV-Ray.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps I should have just better
kept my Wings3D flying instead of turning to Blender....


Anyone already solved this?




Yours,
Bu.

 ... yes !

Jean-Michel Soler answered me in a Blender newsgroup that


      you MUST NOT use windows bitmaps with PovAnim.

It's because PovAnim works on different platforms and for the SYS file
format that would cause ambiguities.
That's at least how I understood this.


Happy Ray Tracing
(and take care of their stings) !!
