Saw the other post after I wrote - it must've been a very long time, I've 
been using Wings3D on SUSE since the 9.x days (for SUSE, not Wings).  
Current version runs very nicely.

Things change in the Linux world much faster than that - you can most 
assuredly bet that if the software is maintained that a critical issue 
like that would've been fixed long ago.

Oh I know that. I have been testing/using Suse since version 6.something. I
just never had the need for Wings3D. I only played with it for a bit and
didn't get it to work then. I later tested a Win version on Wine because a
friend asked me. That one I got to work, so I left it at that.

Well, that's fine, but it seems unreasonable to me to assume that the 
problem was never fixed and *recommend* a current version be run the same 
way as the version you got to work.  I wouldn't generally expect people 
to make recommendations on file naming conventions in Vista (for example) 
based on Windows 3.1, either. ;-)

Well, there is kpovmodeller.  It's a clunky interface, but if you're just moving
primitives around it could be of some use. The key feature being that it exports
directly to povray.

Another interesting feature is that it imports pov files. Mesh2 is not supported
AFAIK.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait until I get my 
other computer fixed, because the old one I'm using now has a video card 
that Linux doesn't like, and there are no drivers available that will allow 
it to do 3d in Linux.
