Having trouble with radiosity. I don't want to use radiosity at that
stage of my work. But everytime i start rendering,
it seems that pov uses radiosity, even when i uncheck the radiosity mark
in moray. The same, when i load the generated pov file directly in pov
and start to render. When i comment out the radiosity block, everything
seems to be allright.

Any idea? Am I to stupid (don't hope so ;-))

best wishes,

Robert

Because the radiosity is switched on or off in the "*.ini" file that Moray
writes
every time it exports a scene.

Try to render the *.ini file (it's in your "povscn" directory and has the
same
name as the pov file). You can switch radiosity there on and off (look in
the
final block of the *.ini file).

Hope this helps

thanks for help,
but that doesn't work! I switched of the radiosity switch in moray and in the
corresponding *.ini file you mentioned, radiosity is set off. But why does pov
ignore it? or why is the radiosity block in the source code, regardless
whether i switch it on or of?

There are some issues related to the way radiosity is currently activated.
We are working on resolving these issues and as soon as we have anything
specific to report we will. For now if you do not want radiosity active
then you will need to comment out any lines in your scene file or your
.ini file that are related to radiosity. This is the only way to de-activate
radiosity at the present time.
