Is there a free Linux modeller for povray, or should I just try and use the povray
language?
I've seen moonlight creator, but I can't get it to compile, and the project seems
dead. Thanks,

David

  Definitely. No modeller can give you the full versatility of the POV-Ray
scene description language.
  (Granted, some things *are* easier to do with a modeller, though.)

I've tried a couple of moddelers, (can't remember their names), but they didn't work 
properly and I prefer hand coding anyway.

If I were you, I would learn the SDL. You can always use both the povray
language and a modeller. You may try Giram: http://www.giram.org/.

I'm working on a modeller to do the things that the SDL isn't very
good at (like organic shapes).  When the project is to the point where
it can be used for real work, I'll be making the source available.

Regards,
John

Right now I can do the following things:

* Add and drag vertices

* Add edges (and drag them by dragging their end vertices)

* Add parts (of the skeleton, that is), and drag them around

* Zoom, pan, and rotate the view

* Crash the program if I zoom too much

It still is not even minimally functional, lacking:

* The ability to add polygons to the mesh

* The ability to attach the mesh to the skeleton

* File operations (such as loading and saving)

* Dialog-box entry of vertex data

* Useful menus and dialog boxes

When these are all in, the project will be suitable for public release.

Then I'll need to add the support for texturing, UV-mapping, surface
subdivision, inverse kinematics, keyframing, physics simulation, etc.

Regards,
John

  I hope it's a generic unix program, compilable and runnable in virtually
any unix with a decent X windowing system, and not a linux-only program.

This shouldn't be impossible for a mingw or cygwin compile and a Win32
X server (like OmniX, for example).
