Lutz,

Yes, I checked the references, and their all in place.  However, as I mentioned
to Thomas only slightly earlier in this thread, the problems I'm having now are
with a *_m.inc file which I believe is a material file created in 3D-Win.  Per
his suggestion, I moved the *_m.inc, the *_o.inc, and the *_p.inc files to the
\povscn directory and I was able to render the part.  However, it only renders
with the default white texture despite what I assign it in Moray.  If I export
the part from 3D-Win with the materials option unchecked (this doesn't create a
*_m.inc file), then it renders the scene, but without the .udo object displayed.
I don't get any missing materials errors, it just renders without the object.
Any suggestions?

By the way, Lutz.  I just want to tell you how much I enjoy using Moray.  I am a
mechanical designer and use a $4000 CAD program (SolidWorks 2000) every day.  But
I still sit down in the evenings and use Moray and POV-Ray for recreation.  Keep
up the good work.  Is there any way you could post on your website what we might
expect from the next version?

Thanks again, Lutz.
