Yafray is acting up on me, so I installed the POVRAY plugin. Wings gave me 2 windows, each saying the plugin was installed correctly (I installed the wngs_pov.beam file, or one similarly named). There are no options for the plugin though, and no option in the export or render submenus for povray. Did I do something wrong?

Well, I noticed that no one has responded. You might want to ask in the POV-ray newsgroups since a lot of people there use Wings.

Maybe this is of use to you, maybe not: I use Art of Illusion, another free/open source 3D studio for my renders and animations. It has pretty good spline modeling tools too, as well as its own Wings-like "polymesh" plugin to which you can import your Wings .objs. You can also import .objs the normal way, and full UV mapping is supported.

It also has Monte Carlo and "Hybrid" methods of Global Illumination, in addition to Photon Mapping, which I believe Yafray uses.

You can learn more about AoI's features here. (http://www.housepixels.com/aoitiki/tiki-index.php?page=Features) :thumbsup:
