Hi there,

got a problem with a premade povray scene i wanted to export to moray.
Now i have a texture which is using a predefined color (rgb
<bla,bla,bla>) and then uses this color as a reference, but multiplies
it. 

e.g.: color*0.6 

is there any way i can do that with moray or which is the correct
formula to calculate those values by hand? 
Help would be appreciated

Thanks in Advance         Arne Kleinophorst

POV-Ray as you guessed takes care of the math for you. If you need
to convert a multiplied color vector <> then you will have to do
so for each color in the vector statement. 

Examples: 

rgb< 1, 1, 1>*0.5 becomes rgb< 0.5, 0.5, 0.5>

rgb< 1, 0.5, 0.25>*0.5 becomes rgb< 0.5, 0.25, 0.125>

etc...

if it's more than 1.0 after you multiply like ken suggested, you can
click on the range button and set the range of the colors all the way up
to ten i think.  i do it all the time.

well, that helped a bit, but still it's looking different, thanks
anyway. I think i can do it somehow with the accustomied range.
