Folks,
I am trying to use a "sky_sphere" with Moray ... but a quick scan of the
docs and Usenet seems to show that Moray has no controls for such and it
must/should be added manually.  Can anyone confirm?

Neil

No sky_sphere is not implemented in Moray. Lutz could tell you why, I
suppose.
What you can do, however, is:
1) make a small inc file in pov-ray with only the sky_sphere
2) be sure to scale/rotate it for Moray (scale <1,1,-1> rotate <90,0,0>), or
make it gradient z
3) in Moray, go to Scene/Settings/Includes and add the inc file. You can
check the box for "include before global settings{}" or not.

Alternatively, you can also add this to the box "scene comments, copyright,
etc"
*/
sky_sphere {
  pigment {
    gradient z    color_map { [0.0 color rgb <0.7,0.7,1.0>] [1.0 color blue
0.5] }
  }
}
/*

Don't forget the comment keys in inverse (!!) position!! This is very
essential!

A third possibility, is using the insert plugin, of course, which I
recommend anyway for different purposes you may want to do.

Hope this helps.

Thomas

That is true. You cam use Luis Gomes's "Insert Code" plugin from the
Moray download page. With this plugin you can include a skysphere, or
macros etc.

Another possibility: Download the Sky_sphere 'Lua' plugin by Luis, don't
forget to download the Fullmoon.dll too.

Thank you all (again).  I really do appreciate all your help.  Using the
insert code plugin I have created my 1st sky_sphere and am delighted!!

This is a wonderful community and you all make me feel most welcome.  Thank
you again.

Neil
