hallo

in kpovmodeler source find file "pmrendermode.cpp", at line 190
change
   if( m_radiosity )
      cl.append( QString( "+QR" ) );
   else
      cl.append( QString( "-QR" ) );
to

/* mod for povray 3.7
   if( m_radiosity )
      cl.append( QString( "+QR" ) );
   else
      cl.append( QString( "-QR" ) );
*/

and recompile

all work except render preview, i'v black image during rendering but think that
this is another problem infact preview not appear using povray command from
konsole.

installed kpm_patch.txt ?
