With regret I must say that my search for a decent Linux modeller has
been unsuccessful. However, Moray has done all but blow my mind (mostly
because it is very easy to input where you want the objects to go, etc.
using coordinates - I was having trouble doing that easily in others -
and I still like being very maticious about my raytraces despite they
are mostly now done with a modeller). So, since there seems to be no
Moray alternative for Linux (yet), I was wondering if anyone has ran
MoRay using WINE and how it worked? I realize Moray is ment to be run
with a Windows version of Pov-Ray (though I don't know if I would want
to run that via WINE when I have a perfectly good, optimized version in
Linux), and was wondering if any automation was done via scrips or other
programs to simulate Moray and PovRay in windows?
Any info would be nice, heck, even some advice on a Linux modeller

I talked to Lutz this day and he said he will help if the Wine people
try to run. On Linuxtag we had many requests for a modeller for Linux.
The Wine folks are already trying to do this.
Still this could be difficult due to the libraries used.
All the Best,
Marc

So basically you are saying that right now it can't be done? Oh well :) I am
hoping that perhaps 3.5 will help make Linux modellers interact with Pov-Ray a
bit easier perhaps? In any case, I will probably have to settle with having
things done by hand. Only reason I use MoRay is because it allows you to
easily place objects via coordinates (instead of guessing with the mouse), yet
it does not have very good animation support (or sky_sphere and looks_like -
least that I can tell). <shrug>
Anyways, thanks for the info!

No, I'm not saying it can't be done now, we don't know it, but we are
working on
it.

have you checked out vmware ? they have a program that suposedly runs
winNT/2K or what ever bill has out there ontop of Linux . .this gives you
the libraries in win95 that isnt yet available for wine. ..I dont know about
the overhead thiswould cause on a system . .but if you are wanting to run
Moray on Linux (or any UNIX system far as that goes) then that my be the fix
till Moray and the fine people at WINE can make a system that screams . .
