I got the first problem fixed, now for another one. It looks like the only
way to use a .hmp object in Moray is to export it as another type, then use
3dwin to convert it again. The problem I'm having is that when I render it
as a udo in Moray, it is all straight lines and angles instead of curves,as
it was in hamapatch. I tried all of the possible file extensions and the
results were the same. Any suggestions?

The right way to use a .hmp object in Moray is to export it as a Moray
(.mdl) file (you will get the object as bicubic patches).
To do so, you need the moray plugin in the Hamapatch's "Export plugins"
directory.
Then, export it, but not using the export option in the menu bar, but
using "File->sPatch plugin -> Moray 3.0"
Save the file in Moray's MDL directory (just as a example).
Then you can open the file in Moray.

You can get all the plugins that work with hamapatch at Draven's
site: http://www.geocities.com/hamapatch

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
I got an email from Draven himself informing me of that plugin. I downloaded
it and used it; the results are fantastic! I feel like I've just opened up a
whole new world.
I looked at your scenes that you posted links for in a previous post. Very
impressive!

Welcome to the club. By the way, there is a new hamapatch version (2.9) at
the Japanese site, posted today. Get it. Now it's even easier to work with
hamapatch. I posted the link in p.b.u.

Thank you very much.
If you want some of the objects that appear in those (and other) scenes of
mine, you can download them for free at:

http://www.txemijendrix.com/objetos.html
(site is in spanish only, though I'm working in an english version).

I remember I learned a lot studying Anto Matckovic's models made with
sPatch.

See you
