Yeah, I'll take photons and UV mapping,etc,  without the hand coding.  I 
just recently hooked into Moray, and I intend to use it more to setup 
scenes (lighting, camera, textures)than to use it for modeling..... Rhino 
is, shall we say, a little more robust for model creation.

Yes yes yes.

I too use Moray nearly only for setting up scenes from Rhino.
And I'm quite happy with that combination.

It would be very useful if we could see the imported meshes in a shaded
preview, but there seems to be no easy way.
RAW import is not possible if the size is too big, and the meshes are not
smooth.
I don't think McNeel will update their export filter to the upcoming
advanced UDO format.
So someone had to write a plugin for Rhino, but I'm not able to do so.

Any ideas?

I tried to avoid 3DWin because of the complicated workflow.
Because there are no other possibilties I'll try it now.

Maybe in the future it becomes easier.

Aaah!!! The lucky guys that can afford Rhino!!!
Too expensive I'm afraid for the lay persons in this universe. Which is a
pity of course...
But with the next version of Moray + Hamapatch + POV-Ray 3.5 + ... (well,
whatever!) One starts to come closer, isn't it?

O.T.:

Don't be jealous.
It is an other point of view if you _have to work_ with it.

If you go to school (pupil or teacher) you can have Rhino very inexpensive.
Or go to the university and enrol.
Then you can have it for 199EUR.

Hmm... of course! I can imagine how Rhino feels then...

Hmmm... (again!) I work for a semi-governmental/semi-private institution,
with connections to the University...
No! Won't do. For the outside world we are just a (big!) company. So I
should come up with a "really" good reason to buy Rhino(geology). Most 3D I
do is for pleasure/leasure!!

I still want to see something that can be done with Rhino+Moray+Pov
and that can't be done with Hamapatch+Moray+Pov...

And for those who work in other things that have nothing to do with 3D, like
me,
price is a very important thing.

Just my opinion (even though I've tried Rhino only a few times)

You'd have to tell me something that "can't" be done with Hamapatch.  I 
suspect it may well be more a matter of something being extremely difficult 
and time comsuming in Hamapatch vs. just a few moments of clicking and 
input in Rhino.  Hamapatch is certainly a good value for the price, but...

I'm a blue collar man myself, but Rhino isn't that hard to justify if you 
love 3D and you've used it enough to realize the power it holds.  And once 
you do a little searching on the net and find authorized resellers letting 
it go for roughly half price, it looks even better.  And it's really the 
only reason I still have a windows partition on my HD.

Why model something in a third-party package when you can build
it with a little thought and a few dozen CSGs? ;)

...I know, I don't do much modelling of any organic objects.

Interesting question when you're in a group called moray.win !!

Why use POV at all when you download a pirated 3DSMAX off the net and render 
scanlines like tens of thousands of l33t teenagers the world over?

Vive La Difference, baby.
