I just want an opinion from several people on what modeler they
use. And which they think is best. I also have a question if anyone
uses Povlab. If you do and you have an ATI card tell me how you got it
to work. Mine all bunches up at the top.

I'm no expert with Povray, but having tried most modelers I have ended
up using Moray 2.5, which is well worth the registration fee, and sPatch
for spline based models.

Well I tried Povlab with an ATI Mach 32 a long time ago and ended up
having to run a Vesa driver to get the screen right.. you could try that..
Im unable to remember the vesa driver I used to get the 1.2 vesa support
that Povlab really wants.. if your card supports that standard then you
should try adjusting your frequencies for the resolution you want to run in
or see if there is a vesa driver included on the ATI disk and tweak your
resolutions frequencies with that instead.. Hope that helps.. ps..
Millenium II 4mb is better!! :)

Glad to know I'm not the only one who's run into the strange problem
with Povlab. Can't tell you what to do about it though - I gave up and
took it off my system.

I did the same, never have got POVLab to work on three machines and on 6
video cards. Author was no help whatsoever.

As far as I can tell, no one makes a VESA driver for my ATI video card. For
example, the UNIVBE universal driver explicitly does not support it.

Me to. Povlab works fine( but very slowly) on the ATI Mach 64 in my old
486 DX66. But will not work on my new Pentium II 350 with integrated SiS
6326 AGPx2 with 8 Megs VRAM and 3D Accelerator support. Scitech UniVBE
drivers don't help, nor do the freeware drivers provided with the Allegro
game programming library (which I am using in the development of my blob
modelling utility, Blobmaster( see seperate post)). From what I can see on
the screen, the author of POVlab has no idea about how to handle bank
switching in VESA 1.2 or VESA 2.0 ( or the library he is using is lacking in
these capabilities). The gospel is that if it don't work with UniVBE then it
don't work t'all. I'm not so sure about this but. then again, I have never
had a problem with UniVBE other than with POVlab. So apparently POVLab's
author has some work to do. (Too bad he's called it quits on
development,eh?).

The latest version of UniVBE recognizes my ATI Rage LT Pro, but says that it
does not support it yet.

I had the same problem, all I had to do was use it in 16 colour mode. Can't
get it to work in 256 colours, and I've tried for a long time. Stil, in 16
colours, it's a pretty good modeller.
When the program gets bunched up on your screen, just click Display -> 256c
Mode or something. That should do.
