After running a mesh through UVmapper and converting the relavent .obj
file to a POV mesh2 via pose2pov, MegaPov tells me it doesn't like it
because "mesh normal index out of range". Could someone help me? How can
I fix this?

Most conversion programs have settings to fix normals but I don't know pos2pov
so I can't help you there.

BTW I've been looking for pos2pov and couldn't find it. Can you point me in the
right direction please?
