Moray is not available for the linux platform, and thats the platform I
mstly work with. There are also some good modellers available for linux
afaik, but I find it somehow more fun using just an editor. I am still
in a beginnerstage, but I have seen that at least some of the advanced
users of povray also stay away from modellers.
What I miss is a quick wireframe viewer. And camera placement should be
done visual. That I also miss a little. But else, its cool: you have the
possibility to name things, to define macros, functions, declaration.
Its easy to change the frame just be changing a number. That I could not
do with qcad. I had to draw things again.
Jürgen: I have put it up on the page (
http://dirkb.dnsalias.net/python2.html ). You find a link there to a zip
file. Normally you should just unzip it. Under linux I need to do following:
cd python2
povray python2[rightside] +P
which will read the python2.ini file, look at section "rightside", and
the definitions there to parse the python2.pov file (which includes a
bunch of other inc files also supplied in the zip). Good luck! :o)
