I'm new to Moray, so you have to excuse me if this question is trivial. I
cannot get moray to raytrace my scene. I'm using moray v3.3 and POV-Ray
v3.5. POV-Ray is working, and I can get moray to render the sample images in
the material libraries. But when I press the Raytrace button in moray, to
raytrace my own scene, I get the following messages in the POV-Ray window:





Loaded 8 tools from C:\PROGRAM FILES\POV-RAY FOR WINDOWS
V3.5\INI\PVTOOLS.INI into Tool Menu.



Rendering started by GUI extension

Preset INI file is 'C:\PROGRAM FILES\POV-RAY FOR WINDOWS
V3.5\RENDERER\QUICKRES.INI', section is '[512x384, No AA]'.

Preset source file is 'C:\Program Files\Moray For Windows\POVSCN\test.INI'.

Command Line Error: Unrecognized output file format X.





Returned from renderer with error status







I called my scene test in this run. I guess it is a setting or something
simple I am doing wrong. I appreciate any help.



Thanks,

Jens

This is a problem in the Moray install and is not at all obvious.

Edit Moray.ini (located in the folder where you installed Moray) and look 
for the section [POVWin Ini]. In it there is a line "Histogram_Type=X", 
remove the X.

Removing the 'X' did the trick, thanks!
