With the low-level buzz of the possibility of a new version of Moray I
thought I would bring up a topic that has long bugged me, I know this is
probably a very old quip and I don't want to start some flame war here, but
I have to ask. Just why is it that Moray has to use the right handed
coordinate system when Pov-Ray uses a left handed system? I can't count the
number of times I have wanted to add some hand coding into a Moray generated
scene only to forget the right handed system, and give up. I know that many
users of Moray never use the Pov-Ray scene language, but that's not to say
that we all don't. I myself don't use it as much as I would like to but this
small difference has a little to do with why. Don't get me wrong I love
Moray for it's scene layout capabilities and user interface, I couldn't do
without it on most of my scenes. But we can't expect Lutz to follow up every
new patch or even official release of Pov immediately with a new version of
Moray. This small change would make a world of difference to me. Ohh and
please let me know if I have done and done something so stupid as overlook a
"use left handed system" checkbox.
