I am trying to make a scene that involves about 6 different UDOs.
Whenever I try to copy one, it causes a new, udo, of different texture,
to appear. For example, I had a spaceship, with a flat, grey texture,
that had a cockpit, with a shiny, black texture. When I duplicated this
shape(both the spaceship, and the cockpit were UDOs.), the picture, when
rendered with POV, had, not a spaceship with cockpit, but two
spaceships, one with a flat grey texture, as it should have, and another
with a shiny, black cockpit texture. The second, un-warranted ship was
the exact same size as the normal ship, which had been scaled after
being created.

I made the UDOs by generating shapes in STOMP, exporting them to VRML
format, then, using Crossroads, converted them to .3ds. I then converted
the .3ds to the 'POVRAY 3 UDO/INC' option, in the 3dWin that came with
Moray.
The new, inexplicable shapes do not appear in Moray, only in the POV-Ray
rendering of the scene. What is causing this malfunction? I am using
Moray 3.01 as well as POV-Ray 3.02. All of the udo/inc files are in
C:\Program File\Moray For Windows\. There are no duplicate file names,
and the closest to one is the similarity of the scene file
name('Newship2.mdl/newship2.pov/newship2.inc) and the name of the
spaceship udo("newship.udo, newship.inc)

I tried to completely recreate the scene, based on the premise that the
problem was that I duplicated a UDO object.So, I recreated the scene,
creating the UDOs using the create object dialogue. However, I keep getting
the weird error, where Moray appears to exports the UDOs to POV-Ray
incorrectly, resulting in an object that is textured like a cockpit, in the
position of a cockpit, with the shape, and .inc file of a spaceship. Why
does this happen? Lutz- Is it a bug?
