takes.... Please let me know when you have it posted and I'll be the first one
to check it out!  Thanks

3dto3d V4 beta supports pov export as well rib export including uv,
texture and images. Better than Polytrans !

3DWin V4 will come very soon.

How much I like this process... one converter, next converter, third
converter, more converters... 

Still: Thanks a lot for the tip. Even if the method is complex, at
least there will be a method at all to export from Moray to many other
file formats...

Why are there so many file formats anyway???

Well, since BMRT, IMHO, is the ultimate freeware renderer, why would you
want to convert from it?<G>

Because there are some many renderers that can't decide on what they want
as a file format.

Hi,

sorry for the confusion:

3dto3d V4 beta is already available.
3DWin V4 will come very soon.

Both have pov/mdl/udo and rib support.
