What I don't like about modellers is the RHC they use. I haven't tried
Moray lately (maybe I should if I am to use a modeller at all) but I
don't think I'll use it if it's still RHC.

It still is.

I recall from sometime in the past that Lutz tried enhancing the
program to allow the user to select RHC or LHC, but he couldn't get
all of the bugs worked out of it.

IMHO It is better to learn the code first that way when you do start with
modellers you can tweak the code when you export it to povray. (examples
Photons, blur dispersion.... just to name a few) Unfortunately I started with
Povlab then worked my way to moray when i found it. but i can't look at a
screen full of text for very long.... due to my eye condition (double
vision.... Hmmmm there's an idea)
just mho....
