I know you all have obtained the Morary license now.  I have been using
moray for many many years....  but my newest computer (windows XP) seems to
have problems with it and it will crash periodically.   I am hoping the new
POV-Moray version will correct this, but WHEN WILL IT BE RELEASE?  Is there
anything we can do to help accelerate the release?

I cannot afford high priced commercial 3D editors, and I love doing 3D
graphics, but I need the tools to do that....  I know I could do the work
with POV alone, but I am much more of a visual graphics artist rather than
a code-based graphics artist...  it just takes me too long to try to do any
type of graphic using only the POV program....  I NEED some sort of 3D
modeling front end that will access POV's power.....  the MORAY program has
provided me wonderful graphic creations in the past and I want to be able to
continue to utilize POV through it.....

Please!  When will the MORAY program be finished?????

Thank you in advance, please advise....

  You should probably wait for POV-Ray 3.7 to be finished first.
The pov-team is pretty busy with it now so I don't think they have
too much time right now for other huge projects such as Moray.

If Moray is not working for you and you need a modeler you could try
Bishop3D. It is undergoing beta tests but it is workable, in the main. It

features that Moray does not such as importing SDL.
New testers welcome :-)

Another option (albeit with a steep learning curve) is Blender.  There's 
a plugin to export to POVray.

It is completely comprehensible. But in the same spirit as Povray, why 
the source code of Moray isn't available?
I made some plugins for Moray, a few years ago.
I will like that this program improves, and I think that the 
collaboration of developers can help there

Hi David


completely lost. I have been running Moray build 9330 on Win 2000 smoothly
for a long time but I remember a period some years back where I had a
similar problem with this build crashing a lot. I never really found out
what was the problem, I faintly remember re-installing first Povray and

think the problem had something to do with drivers and/or some other
application installed in the same period.

Also I remember trying to use some very complicated meshes through Poseray
and it also crashed Moray several times. Some work on the meshes solved the
issue.

I have also used Moray a few times on WinXP on several machines, no
incidents, so I think your problem may be related to your system. Yes I

concerned Moray seems to be very stable.


when using Povray 3.6 and maybe 3.7, that could also be your problem. You
should check out these messages, maybe people eventually found a




it writes Pov scene description language. You can make most things in your
scene, materials and textures and adjust radiosity from within the program
to name a few. It makes it possible to finish a good image without ever

what the heck... it works.


great tool and easy to use and learn. I would probably never have gotten
