THANKS IF YOU HELP I created a model in milkshape Exported to POVRAY .inc format Opened POVRAY Loaded the exported .inc file Copied a camera and light setup to it''s start Then I clicked run and a black screen came up - ------- --- --- - ----- ------ ---- -- I also tryed including the file in the setup with and without the file added to the code but still a black screen The only thing I can think of is if I am inside the model so all i see is black but I don''t think the model is that big But I put a zero on the Z distance to see if I could go back farther and see it but still nothing! HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE? AND WHAT, IF SO, DID YOU DO? I just got POVRAY so i may be missing something THANKS AGAIN &|

err, maybe you could just start with a reflective sphere on water with a blue sky ? Like everyone else that starts with POV ?
I mean, that''s pretty much the "Hello World" of POV Ray, that way you could see if you have everything set up correctly.
Then replace the sphere with your fancy model...

just an idea, eh

Sancte Isidore ora pro nobis !
