For a project, some people at my school would like to make some 3D
ray-traced images to be rendered with POVray.  What is the best tool for
the job?  We've looked at Moray, though it seems that it doesn't handle
animations very well.  Can anyone recomend any other programs, for either
Windows or Linux?  Free or commercial, it doesn't really matter at this
point.  Thanks

I'm guessing you don't want the answer "povray". 'cause that's what I use for
creating animations. It's hard work but I get so frustrated with having too
little control over the scene code produced by other tools, so I prefer to just
code it all myself :)

BTW, this question would be more appropriate on the povray.animations group,
since you haven't actually posted a binary attachment.

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

OK - sorry about this being the wrong group.  I personally wouldn't mind
typing in all of the code, however, the people who would be doing the
majority of the work on this project wouldn't want to have to learn to do
all of that.  Thanks anyway.

I haven't tried Blender myself, but I have a very good feeling about is a
modeller...

There was a MAX->Pov render thingy a while back (think it just converted and
passed to pov)
