Lutz, I've downloaded MORAY and the docs look very good. Unfortunately, that's all I can say 'cause I can't run it. That's no fault of yours, I should add: The problem is, that my machine is a Compaq Portable 486c/66, and Compaqs come with a custom SVGA board which (most…
Dan, Great, I'll check out MORAY when it appears. – Per Read action !
Lutz, I'll certainly check it out when it appears in the lib. I've been thinking about buying a math-co for my home machine for some time now, anyway. – Per Read action !
Dan, What can you say about MORAY, impressions, availability, pricing ? Aah, Logitech mouse. That could be it. I've got one of those as well at home, and I use a Compaq (MicroSoft compatible) here. I'll try a switch. My 386 doesn't have a coprocessor, but if that was the…
Dan, Getting back to the subject of this thread: I actually went ahead and downloaded PoV and all the Scene editors available here (except for the huge beta demo trilogy). Quite a few nice scenes of yours in there (I made 120 by 160 pixel renderings of all the demos…
Erkki, I see, well it's my impression that Vivid adds bounding boxes to it's primitives automatically. I'll try to keep this in mind. Other than that, are you satisfied with PV3D? – Per re. your P.S.: I'll respond via E-Plex. I don't want to put off Dan Farmer . There…

Hi Erkki, Your reply is pretty much in-line with what Dan said. I don't have access to AutoCAD or 3D Studio, but I'll certainly be checking out POVCAD. Thanks – Per P.S. Nej, du har ret. Der er dog mindst et par stykker til – selvom det er nogle aar…
Michael, I went ahead and downloaded your Sculptura demo, and I must say that I'm somewhat disappointed with it. Not with the fact that it's so severely crippled that you can't do anything useful with it. The demo gives you no opportunity to test whether the claim about Vivtruth, and…
Dan, Thanks much for your information. I think I'll stick with Vivid then, and wait for a modeller to be available. – Per Read action !
Michael, I'll take a look, thanks. – Per Read action !
#Scene editors, Viv/PoV
Message #20595
Hi Guys, I've been using Stephen Coy's Vivid ray tracer for some time now. It works great for rendering but I find it quite tedious and time consuming to build the scenes by hand. I notice, there are a couple of scene editors in the libraries. Are any of you…
