I'm having problems in Moray 3.1 when trying to preview a texture
and when trying to render an image. This is the error message I get
when trying to preview a texture. Any help would be appreciated.
//
#declare PreviewTexture =
material <----ERROR
POVTXTR.POV:12: error: object or directive expected but undeclared
identifier 'material' found instead.
Returned from renderer (non-zero return value)

Is this a new material that you created? It sounds like you have left
something out, I had similar problem in Moray 3.0 when I was trying to
create a image map. I finally figured out what I was missing and now I
have a really good grass texture. Post the entire material if you are
not able to find the problem.

This is a POV problem and not a Moray problem. It isn't with
the material statement but with what preceeds it. I think you are
likely missing a "}" or something similar -- if you haven't
figured it out, post a slightly fuller code fragment here.

It looks to me that POVRay doesn't recognize the word material itself.
Are you sure you're using POV-Ray 3.1? Cause the material statement doesn't
exist in an older version of POV.
ZK
This error is due to the fact that you are probably using POV-Ray 3.0
instead of 3.1.
