Is it possible to exclude an object from reacting with a lightsource
in POVRay as in 3DS? If so how, and can it be set in Moray?
Thanks, Oldstench.

1: This is not a Windows specific question, at least, not all of it is.
The advanced users group might have been better.
2: Yes, this is possible with the light groups patch in MegaPOV.
3: No, it is not possible to set it from Moray.

Hmm, how does one decide whether or not a specific question is for the
advanced user or not? I figured it was a pretty basic question; I
simply could not find any documentation on it, so I thought that it
was called something else in POV (the Windows version being the one I
use). So voila. Here my post went...
Shall I pre-post my next question in many different groups first to
see if it belongs there, and then post the final question in the
proper group? Sorry to come off so sarcastic, but, gimme a break.
Thanks for the info however. I have not tried MegaPov, but I will.

Common to point people to what might seem better places to ask things.
Seeing as how POV-Ray is run on several different platforms the rendering
engine itself is the same. Windows specific things are simply that, Windows
specific :-)
Anyway, so many postings get mislaid that it's always being brought up so
the place to check about these groups first and foremost is the
povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions group.
In fact, as Chris alluded to yet did not say exactly, the unofficial.patches
group is probably where you would go with questions the like of yours after
you know at least that much. Posting this in general or advanced-users
definitely would be placed better there than in the moray one(s) or here.
We all try and take it with a grain of salt knowing how this is a learned
thing. Nobody's perfect, but please don't cross post to several groups with
the same thing.
And yes, MegaPov at www.nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm is what you seek.

Oh, I had no intention of doing that...it was me being a sarcastic
ass. Sorry for the acidity of my comments in my previous reply, I have
a monster headache from trying to find what I was looking for
(teaching myself media wasn't too conducive to a pain-free head
either). Oh well, sorry again, thanks for the help...cheers!

Been there myself too many times. The headaching over doing things, not the
sarcastic posting (oh gee no, not me).

Rule of thumb: If you don't know or are not sure, it's most probably
a new-users group question... :)
