Okay, here’s the deal. Getting POV-Ray and Moray to work properly on Vista is a nightmare. Until now, things worked more or less, but not as good as on XP. Creating scenes and rendering them from Moray worked, but I had to close POV-Ray every time before rendering or everything would freeze. Annoying, but not too much trouble. Rendering animations in POV-Ray didn’t work, however. Normally, you set a clock variable, wich you use to create your animation, and then all frames are rendered automatically. Guess what? Doesn’t work! The program crashes when I try it. Only solution is rendering everything frame by frame.
So today I wanted to continue working on my graphics, Moray simply doesn’t work anymore at all! The only thing that still works is creating scenes directly in POV-Ray, wich is an incredibly time consuming process. Unless I can find a way to solve this problem, I’m going back to vector graphics after my current project. With some effort, these can be made to look 3D-ish, and sometimes even better than pre-rendered sprites.
