Hi,
PoseRay for Macintosh (PowerPC, MacOS 8.6 or later *with* Carbonlib 1.2
or later, this includes MacOS X 10.1) is available.
Special thanks to FlyerX for providing me with the sources.
PoserRay for Macintosh looks and works the same as the Windows version
except that:
- line endings are not important (dos, unix, mac);
- this version also reads objects with no normals;
Go get it at:
http://users.skynet.be/smellenbergh/poseray.htm
All feedback is welcome.
Regards,
Smellenbergh

GREAT!
I've tried it out on 2-3 Poser models, and it seems like it works just fine!
(The few crashes I've had has been after the conversion, and happened
because I'm not used to pov files this big, and had given POV-ray too
little memory.)
There is one addition that could be made in the docs:
If one want to use Poser Bumpmaps together with the Poser models in
POV-ray, those have to be converted to a format that POV-ray can read.
That can be done with MartinC's "SpeedBump", a plugin for
GraphicConverter, that can be found at: http://www.soft-rabbit.com
The only thing that could be desired now is to have PoseRay calculate the
center of each body part, to make it easier to get it to interact with
other pov-objects. :-)
Thanks a lot! Life is easier now.

That seems to be a problem in 3.5. It should not crash when running out
of memory.

Thanks for the hint.
We will add that to the docs. In fact, we must write the docs completely
:-)

You already have the min and max in the pov file. Could you not use
that?

You are welcome.

I'm just on my way to work out of town for a week. Can you tell Thorsten
about this, if you think that he is unaware of it?

I think that some info from the tutorials that Gilles Tran has on his site
could be useful. Maybe he can allow you to use some of his text?

Yes, I could. I wasn't totally serious in my request. I still haven't had
much chance to play around with it. Though, if I would try to make
pov-generated laserbeams that shoots out from the eyes of a Poser figure,
then I guess that it would be nice to quickly find the center of the eyes.
But that is a small thing that probably can be solved in other ways.
Anyway, thanks again for this excellent tool!
