GREAT!
I've tried it out on 2-3 Poser models, and it seems like it works just fine!
(The few crashes I've had has been after the conversion, and happened
because I'm not used to pov files this big, and had given POV-ray too
little memory.)

There is one addition that could be made in the docs:
If one want to use Poser Bumpmaps together with the Poser models in
POV-ray, those have to be converted to a format that POV-ray can read.
That can be done with MartinC's "SpeedBump", a plugin for
GraphicConverter, that can be found at: http://www.soft-rabbit.com

The only thing that could be desired now is to have PoseRay calculate the
center of each body part, to make it easier to get it to interact with
other pov-objects. :-)

Thanks a lot! Life is easier now.
