I have a Moray .mdl file (a golfball)  on which I have been trying to apply
an image map, which consists of the word "victor" in dark blue on a plain
white background. I set up everything in the material editor the way it is
supposed to be, and it shows perfectly in the material editor preview
window, but when I render, the ball is just plain white with no lettering.
I've spent hours trying to figure out what is wrong, but nothing I do
changes it. What could the problem be?

I've had this problem; unless someone tells me different, Moray tends to
subtlely mess up image maps; it's there, just translated to a funny
position. Try exporting POV-Ray code and altering the image map there.

You could try to find in some of the moray-INI's the predefined
Preview-Objects, and look for their translation ...

try to add these translations (inverted) to your texture ...

Maybe then your preview will get wrong but (I hope) your Image
gets right ...

  Steve, you might get a wider audience if you post in the moray.win

Hi 23yrold3yrold, you recently wrote in povray.general:

I'll tell you different. Moray neither subtly nor obviously messes up
image maps.

It's not translated to a funny position. It's left at the origin of
the object it's assigned to. But since the image map is displayed in
wireframe, it should be a lot easier to place correctly than editing
the POV file.
