I am thinking of downloading Spatch. Does it work well with Moray?
Does anyone have any other programs they swear by for modelling some
things, with Moray for Windows?
Thanks.

I like Sculptor Pro from 4D vision. It is a nurbs base program. Here is
there web site address http://www.4dvision.com/. You can download a trial
version there.
Hope this helps

I would think so. The Moray guys from Munich have published a sPatch
plugin which allows you to export Moray MDL files from sPatch! I haven't
tried it, but it sounds neat and it certainly sounds like the two go
nicely together. Check the moray download page:

Another nice modeller is Rhino3d. It has an export filter specifically
for Moray's UDO format. You can download the latest beta version at
www.rhino3d.com

Yes, with the plugin mentioned below the file transfer seems to work fine. I
haven't had a chance to use sPatch much yet, but be aware that the Pov files
(created with sPatch imports) are sometimes rather large.

Well the export filter has it's problems as far as I'm concerned. It
will export the patch to udo format. However, there seem to be two major
problems with it. The first being that the export filter does not export
different layers...which I found out the hard way after creating a complex,
multi-layered patch. This means that you can only use one texture per
patch, which I don't like very much
There are simple work-arounds to this but it is a pain. The second problem
is that I don't believe the exported patch is completely compatible with
Moray, and the patch comes out with seeming holes in it that aren't visible
when directly exported to pov-ray.
All in all, the export filter needs some work but I think it's good for
minor modelling.

Hi news.povray.org, you recently wrote in moray.win:

If you're talking about the filter that we wrote, then you're wrong,
it exports to MDL format.
> The first being that the export filter does not export

True, I didn't understand the filter docs to be able to implement
that. Maybe you can send me the sPatch file you were working on that
uses layers and I will try to add layers.
> The second problem is that I don't believe the exported patch is

Oh, it is, believe me. If it weren't compatible, Moray would let you
know.

Can you give me an example of where there are holes? I export all the
meshes that sPatch gives me and if there are holes, then it's an
sPatch problem. Unless of course you have a huge mesh that is
generating too many edges or vertices for your current settings. You
can see this has happened when the Edge or Vertex count in the status
bar turns red and goes to 99%. In this case use the Advanced Tab in
the Settings Dialog and crank up the two memory settings. You need to
exit and restart for these to take effect.
