Does anyone know of a good object modeller that is similar to sPatch that 
is suitable for use in Moray. I use sPatch with the .mdl exporter and it 
works well but it doesnt meet all of my demands. I need it to model 
individual elements of a scene such as a lamp, chair, desk, etc.

I would really apreciate it if someone pointed me in the right diection.

I was under the impression that Moray *IS* a good object modelling program
and could easily be used to model the kind of object you described above.

Are you sure that you have fully explored it's possibilities ?

What I meant was a good spline and vertex modeller like sPatch. It is 
very hard to make a chandelier in moray and even harder to make it look 
like a single fluid piece of metal. I want a modeller to make an 
individual object then import it into a scene.

Where sPatch is not enough, I use Rhino. If you haven't tried it yet, it's
about time!

You can also take a look at DMesh which you will find at

http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Studios/4500/

It supports UDO output for Moray.

Or, if you have the time to search around teh POV-Ray links site, look for the
Mops, which is a lovely NURBS modeler that only exports to RIB. Then, look
around on pov-ray links for something I think is called lily8- its a very nice
converter that'll convert RIB files to a more easily convertable format.(I've
found converting the RIBs to DXF works the best). This solution is entirely
free, so its a bit cheaper than a license for Rhino.
