Charles,
I looked at Rhino's website and was quite impressed. My question is this: If
one can afford to buy Rhino, would there be any need for Moray? In other
words, what can Moray do that Rhino can't?

Moray uses Pov's native formats.  As such, it can generate images that are
much faster/easier to work with in POV.

Rhino is really good for some things, especially NURBs, but it's not a total
3D solution, IMO.  Of course, neither is Moray (I always fiddle with the
generated code), again, IMO.

If you are teacher or student the price is very low.

Moray is an excellent interface to POV. I use Rhino and Moray together. All
the modelling is done in Rhino, exported to UDO. Then I use the very very
fine Moray material editor and give it all to POV with a single klick.
I can't imagine an easier way.
Once POV is started you can work with other programs. Of course, the
rendering is slower then.

Rhino is (up to now) a modeler and not more. In the near future there will
be a rendering plug-in called flamingo. IMHO POV gives better results with a
lot of lights, and it's cheaper.

Rhino - Moray - Povray: the ultimate combination.
