My version of uberpov is from https://github.com/UberPOV/UberPOV, the last
version, dated 10 February 2015.
My version of povray 3.8 is from https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray/tags, the
last version, v3.8.0-x.10064738, dated 19 February 2019.
Povray 3.7 doesn't have the stochastic rendering mode am3, that's probably why
your plugin on version 3.7.0 doesn't work, but I don't have any experience with
the piggy back.
BTW Uberpov out of the box doesn't compile right now, because the
boost-libraries have changed. I wouldn't mind checking my modified files in into
Uberpov, but I need permission to do that, and I don't want to create another
fork of povray. It's complicated and confusing with all those forks as it is.

Cheers
Ton.
