Neat!
Are you planning to expand this into a plugin for 'planting' things on an
object (heightfield or other)? As is, the use is limited, isn't it?
Something about the simcloth plugin: I have trouble opening the example
files! My system freezes/crashes during opening. I guess that the zip file
may have become corrupted during download. However, on your website, the
(latest) example file is commented out, so I cannot download it again...

I didn't really answer your question, did I? I think that it answers my
original question. However, I have to experiment a little bit, then I shall
answer you more to the point, OK?

I had a brief period of clarity and wanted to get this out before I forgot
what I was doing :-)
Expanding this for 'planting' is one of the things I'd like to see also.
Select 'high detail' and you'll see another idea. Right now you need to know
the starting point, if I do trace in both directions, maybe I can join two
objects (magnet?)

The format for the save/load has changed and 'freezes/crashes' is a common
result for incompatible scenes. The current 1a5 version is unlikely to
change, and will be renamed 1b when I get the scenes converted. The last two
versions (1a3,1a4) are still on the web site, just not linked to, and at
least one of them should read the sample scenes.

After thinking about it some more, my enthusiasm got the better of me :-)
There's no pratical way for POV-Ray to return information back to Moray,
except as a complete object. This plugin is likely to remain a novel idea
only :-(

Yes... I was afraid so. The only way I see is with the insert plugin, but
then you could as well do that part directly in POV-Ray (what I did).
