Moray is a 'solids' modeller, you start by creating primitives, such as
spheres, cubes etc etc, and then use csg to subtract one shape from another
try this, create to objects, overlap them slightly, create a csg object and
add both of the primitives you just made, and then set the csg to
'difference' and render, more dfetail? add more !!
its not as limiting as it first sounds, and renders so much quicker than a
comparable (and highly dtailed) mesh object
its great for almost all man made ogjects, not good for organic or ergo
designed objects - eg very curvy objects
but look at things around you, eg a pen, is mostly cylinders, your house is
just a box
there are limitations with csg, and i would not suggest you use it for
everything, but for 90% of what you may want to model it will do, and give
you a better quality output than triangle based object, and renders so much
faster.
i suggest you go to the povray.org links page, and download spatch, its the
best nurbs based modeller i have every used, and its really easy to use, and
you can import your creations straight into moray

Correction:
sPatch is not a NURBS based modeller. It is a bicubic patch based
modeller.

Mark,
Try Strata 3D - its a FREE 3D modeller/animation tool. You can find it at
www.3d.com and download it from there. It is 22meg in size. You can do a
lot with this product.

Ken,
I am hearing a lot about spatch and it sounds like something I want. Do you have
a link for a place where one could read a description of what it does in more
detail? I understand the home page is down, and you gave a download site, but is
there a place to read about the capabilities, even a tutorial etc?
