Looks like all mesh2s exported from Moray have this issue. Other
interesting thing about PoseRay is it doesn't seem to like quads in .obj
files much, which is a pity because if you want to go back and forth
between things, it's a nuisance having to re-quadrangulate all the
triangles.
...anyhow, here's a bit more progress on the project. Render time 17 m
26 s in POV 3.7, still entirely done within Moray. Had dumped it out
and was poking around with things in Maya, but I want to show off what
Moray is capable of on its own (well, with some intermediating on the
part of PoseRay to turn the two halves of an unsubdivided mesh into a
single mesh since Moray can't do that for some reason), maybe inspire
code-monkeys to care about its potential fate. ^_^;

This is /not/ my experience with Poseray. I model exclusively in
Silo-built quads through .obj files and never got a problem. Poser also
exports as quads with same smooth workflow. So, something else must be
hurting you.

The results are indeed impressive. A clear signal to the code-monkeys... :-)

Hmm. Could be the way PoseRay handles .udo files and Moray exports .pov
for rendering? Can work with quads /internal/ to Moray, but pulling the
.pov it generates into PoseRay and re-exporting as .udo splits
everything up.
Ah well, I need to go back and do some redesigning on my mermaid and
rebuild it so it has better topology, and improve the mirror-frame and
so forth. End goal is to have something I can rig with a skeleton in
Maya and have a 3D-printing made, though the former needs the mesh to be
absolutely set in stone and I'm not sure if I can manage that with
anything. Always something more to change...

How's the carving affect the sound of it, I wonder?
...I need to plan out and figure out how to do hair for my model (as
well as redesigning its topology). Urgh...

Well, that's no surprise actually: POV-Ray that can't handle quads, so
Moray needs to export them as triangles when exporting to .pov. Of
course, PoseRay stays faithful to the content it reads, making no
attempt to merge the triangles back into quads.
