Hi!
I'm a newbie in raytracing, and one question really puzzles me:
Why does _nobody_ use the (Windows) program 'MilkShape' for making meshes ?
I never found it on ANY list of recommended modellers. But it easily exports
..inc files, got texture mapping and the only buggy is that it reverts the
Z-axis.
I think I'll try building meshes for my scenes with it for a while.
Or do you think I'm stupid - modeling with a program that intentionally was
designed for a computer game ?
The only other application I tried is JPatch (Java, as the J indicates).
It's a spline modeller, and the outcome is really good. Only the .inc
exports are really big and cost a lot of rendering time.
curios about any answer,
Burki

Blaze a new trail, and others may follow!
I've tried Wings3D but I miss some kind of spline object (although there are
work arounds).
Can MilkShape do splines or organic shapes at all?
How about 'booleans' (given the limitations of meshes)? i.e. cut a cylinder
out of something or slicing a plane through something.
I try and stay away from mesh objects in general - most of POVRay's best
features work much better (or at all) on it's other native objects, but for
somethings meshes do work better.

No, Milkshape doesn't have splines or constructive geometry.
It's just a real simple thing, but in the meanwhile I'm also using Wings.
What not necessarily means that I'm going to fly.
Yours,
