In Wings export it to *.obj. Download and install PoseRay
(http://mysite.verizon.net/sfg0000/) import the model, and export to
POVRay.

Sorry, can't help you then. There are a couple of Linux users around here
though maybe any of these can provide more help

There used to be a tool called wingspov, but the link on the wings site
points to a dead URL now.  You might search the web to see if there's an
archive of it somewhere.

I'm not at home, but I think I still have the beam files of the Wings3D
povray export plugin on my PC. I do not use it anymore, because I use
Poseray which is a really nice tool, and it seems that they does not work
with the latest Wings3D version.
I never test this but i think that beam files are platform independant.

If it is true and you are interested, give me an address where to post these
files.

I wrote to Jaime Vives Piqueres, he replied that there is a plugin but it
works "with Wings3D version 0.98.29b. At least it didn't work with later
versions when I tried".

Damn :(

> Poseray which is a really nice tool,

But I am on Linux and for unknown reason (if not the fact this is a free
tool I would call it "totall ignorance and lameness beyond borders") this
is windows-only tool.

Why the hell a tool that converts form from nice crossplatform applications
into crossplatform Pov-RAY is itself windows-only :(

Not even a simple command line version, nothning...

I use Linux as well and have had the same problem.  However, recently I gave
PoseRay a shot using Wine and it has worked great so far.  The only issue
I've had with it is with the preview, and that is not terribly important
(IMO) if you're mainly doing conversions.  So now I can do Wings3D ->
Export to Wavefront OBJ -> Import into PoseRay (on Wine) -> Export to
POV-Ray.

I've also tried using it on Qemu running Win98, but Wine runs it much
faster.

Hope this helps, good luck.

I've used the wings->povray exporter plugin with almost every version since
0.98.22c. I'm currently using 0.98.35, and it still works with that.
