Allright I know this is ilegal, and that I am probbaly going to get
flamed because of it. Does anyone have the registration information for
povlab (not POV-Ray, but povlab) Povlab is a wireframe type editor for
POV-Ray 3.0. I personally feel that if a program designed to make using
a free program easier to use should also be free, don't you agree? I am
just a 16 year old kid and I dont want to blow $60 for a damn
registration number. Thanks for any help!!!

Even if I would have a registration number:

Simply NO!

The idea of shareware should not be spoiled through such registration
number
ripping.

How could we validate that at all?? But at all even this is no reason to
requesta registration number illegally.

My suggestion is:
Contact the program author himself, tell him your situation and offer
yourself
for alpha testing the latest version. May be he will give you a special
registration.

Good luck,

Guenther

the only limits to the shareware versions are:
a nag screen each time you create a object. (live with this, i do!!)
can't render resolutions over 640x480 and export .pov files...so:

this is what i do to get higher res and .pov files:

first i downloaded the DOS version of pov-ray (did this so POVLAB could
find a renderer)

ran POVLAB under win95

asked POVLAB to render any file (ex. File.scn), POVLAB creates a temp .pov
file under the povray directory to render it.
after rendering and displaying the scene POVLAB would normaly delete the
temp .pov file and return to the GUI. all you have to do is after pov-ray
renders the file and pauses for the output messeges ALT+TAB to windows,
start the explorer and copy the temp .pov file to another folder (File.pov)
and the include file (File.inc) to the include folder that is under pov-ray
for windows

start pov-ray for windows, open your file and edit the code:
you will have to change the path of the include file from:

#include "C:\POVRAY3\FILE.INC"

to:

#include "FILE.INC"

now you have the source file in .pov and can render in high res!!!

Personally, I wish programs for use with POV-Ray were freeware, or you can
donate money to the author if you want.  Programs like POV-Lab are not
sharing in the spirit of POV-Ray by demanding money.  I say demanding,
because it is disabled unless you pay, and that really sucks.  Moray is an
excellent program, not disabled in any way, has a tiny nag-screen, and is
shareware.  I would definitely register it if I had any money, but I am only
a poor student, and anyway, I don't use it enough to warrant paying for it.
But there is no way I would give out a reg code for a program I had.  I
suggest you get Moray.

Hi all,

<P>If some author judges he/she shall make his/her own product, nothing
sucks as far as I am concerned. It really is his/her right to do so and
you only should abide by the rules.
<BR>Think this author may not be rich at all either and may want extra
money to make a better living, now you understand the laws of copyright.

<P>One day you will want to make money yourself.

<P>If you have a permanent or temporary money problem and you still want
to do the thing, try and negociate some sort of arrangement with the author
himself/herself : #that# and only that is behaving in the real world with
respect towards others.

<P>The nice lads who did povray may not need money that badly or maybe
they do but they decided to offer povray for nothing, that is their choice
and only theirs, it should not bind any other author of any other program.

<P>Best of luck in your query,
<BR>Al.
