greets,

Does anyone know the location of some good tutorials for using media in
Moray?  The documentation seens a bit.. thin .. in this regard.

Thanks,

Johannes

I need to make one of those. However, I will give you advice, I just need
to know one thing: Have you any experience with Halos, from version 3.0?

Alex,

In a nutshell..... no.  The current versions of Moray and POV are the first
I've ever messed with, which should date me nicely as a rookie :-)

Well, I can only really explain it in terms of halos, as thats all that I've
found useful so far(making halo-like media). For emitting media, just remember
this- black is transparent, and all other colors emit that color. Be sure to
make your container objects transparent, BTW(not black- you container objects
have a transparency option).

For scattering and absorbtion media, here is a link:

This link should work...
