Hi Thomas de Groot, you recently wrote in moray.win:

If it is properly loaded, which you can check by calling View|Loaded
Plugins, then there is an entry in the Create|Plugin Objects menu and
in the Create Tab (on the right of the screen) called 'Dome'.

When I add a Media Node to a Interior node, and have the Media Node
selected, I see a checkbox called Scattering. If I check that
checkbox, I see a combobox containing the scattering type. I also see
Extinction and Eccentricity. And if I activate these things, I see the
export in the sample POV-Ray output. And I can add Scattering Color,
Emmision Color and Absorption Color nodes.

So, all in all, I cannot reconstruct the problems you are having.
Maybe you can explain in more detail?
