Well, that's what I did with a couple of .3ds models that did have
maps.  Unfortunately, they didn't translate too well. :`(

Maybe it was because I was outputting to udo/inc, I'll try putting
straight out to pov and see what happens.

Hehe, I wish I could take credit for it.  It's a .3ds I found that I
converted with 3dto3d to .udo/.inc.  At the moment homer's my "test

Not in the MeagPov sense, no.  I put it on basically the same way as the

Nope, didn't know about that :)
