Hi,
 I am brand new to both Moray and POVray and have been fooling with the city
generator by Chris Colefax and the Moray plugin by Keith Hull. I am able to
export a POV file that POVray renders as I expected but I am not able to
preview the render in Moray.
 When I am working with simple spheres and cubes they seem to render in
preview within the Moray GUI but when I am working with the city scapes I
can only export and render in POVray. When I try to render the city scene
while in Moray all I get is the background color. Is there something obvious
I am missing? Do complex scenes act like this?
 Thanks
mike

Hi,
Looks like the problem was associated with my checking the "radiousity" box
in render options and is not specific to the city plugin. Is this a common
result of using the radiousity option?
mike

Hi michael mccue, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Yes, POV-Ray does not pass pixels in an order that can be used by
Moray. This also applies to Mosaic preview, which also only displays
the image in POV-Ray.
