Hi all- OK, I shelled out for the registration- the possibilities in
Moray/POV seem like they are pretty good. Here are a couple of things that
seem to me so far to be not as good as they could be, though it could well
be I haven't found how to do this yet- I hope someone will jump up and let
me know if the functionality is there somewhere.

- It looks like I cannot add materials to an existing material library, is
that correct? This is a pretty major bottleneck in productivity over here-
it really only makes sense to be able to develop a new material and then be
able to drop it into the approptiate library for later use. Along similar
lines it also looks as though I cannot delete materials from existing
libraries. One of the default libraries that ships with Moray has a dozen or
so of what looks to me like the same magenta material under different names
and I cannot seem to get rid of them. Compounding the problem the material
libraries don't look very amenable to text editing.

- Image mapping does not seen to be very flexible... for example there does
not seem to be a way to repeat an image x number of times in one direction
(U or V) and not another, so if I have a pattern that repeats around a
cylindrical object 3 times but only once along it's axis. I have to make a
very long skinny image that repeats three times and use the whole thing on
the surface. This makes it quite time consuming to make adjustments.

Thanks for any enlightenment...
