If it is properly loaded, which you can check by calling View|Loaded
Plugins, then there is an entry in the Create|Plugin Objects menu and
in the Create Tab (on the right of the screen) called 'Dome'.

When I add a Media Node to a Interior node, and have the Media Node
selected, I see a checkbox called Scattering. If I check that
checkbox, I see a combobox containing the scattering type. I also see
Extinction and Eccentricity. And if I activate these things, I see the
export in the sample POV-Ray output. And I can add Scattering Color,
Emmision Color and Absorption Color nodes.

So, all in all, I cannot reconstruct the problems you are having.
Maybe you can explain in more detail?

I feel ashamed!!!!!!  )-[
My stupidity is increased by my blindeness it seems. {:-}
I got it right now. The Dome dll was in the wrong folder (unzipping caused
also a recursing of the original Gibone folders as well). Now it works of
course!
About my second question, I really don't see how I could have missed that one!


Thank you very much indeed, Lutz, for taking time to help me out. I really
appreciate it!

Thomas
