ya, ya, I know. I haven't registered. I will, as soon as I have money.
But, I still have a few suggestions for moray:

1) Export another, somewhat common file format...if possible.

2) Direct import of another file format.

3) Coloring of CSG and group objects: Allow the user to pick a color for
the wireframe of the objects, so that they can tell what is what.

4) A way to click on the wireframe view and select a parent object, like
an entire CSG just from the plan view.

5)A way to import textures in .inc format.

Thank you very much for listening to my random suggestions. These
changes are not exactly nessesary, but would be usefull. I like the
paring with 3DWin.

I dont know if this would be easy to implament, as moray is a primitive
modeller, and everything else use patch geometry.

yes wireframe colrs would be really usefull.

try using POV2MDL, it works fine for me, and the textures are not hard to
recreate, as the tex editor is among the best.

Yes I like this to, really usefull, how about a closer partnership with
spatch? (ie intergrated Spatch?)

Rick- if you like the capabilities of sPatch, there is another modeler out
there that does much the same things, exports to POV, and is the ONLY(to my
knowlege) freeware NURBS modeler. It is STOMP 3D, and it is really usefull
for making things like pipes, as it has an extrude along spline path
function. It requires Java 1.1.6, but here is the URL:

Happy tracing.
