and download the last stable release: http://www.povray.org/red...cial/Windows/povwin36.exe and NOT the beta 3.7.x release.

All your current questions can be answered by reading the POVRAY docs.

The povray exporter in Wings3D is quite good but you'll find you will need to "hand tweak" the files it produces for optimal results. This is not a difficult task as the files are "text-based" but it does require a knowledge of the POVRAY SDL and it's syntax. I've used POVRAY for rendering for over 10 years and I still consider it one of the best raytracers around. Personally, I use the 3.6 stable release currently while the 3.7.x version is still being developed and debugged...

Originally, the povray exporter was conceived by kayosIII then picked up and continued by avariant. I'm considering expanding on avariant's povray exporter to include more parameters, more fine-tuning of existing parameters and a simple animation system.

Cheers.
