Right. Although it is included in my new package, it currently doesn't compile it (and so technically doesn't have a non-free build-dep). > Considering the artwork, arguments could be made for it being art and > not software, but let's not open that can of worms. Ok, let's not. :-) > kpovmodeler choked on marble.pov, but it shouldn't be that hard to find > other free software coping with .pov, or modify something to support the > povray language more fully. I searched a bit, and think it is actually quite hard. I think it would be easier to remake the graphics, either with something like blender, or simply with the Gimp. But I don't have a problem with anyone proving me wrong. :-) > Blender has an export plugin to povray, so > that might be another option. Exporting to povray is much easier than importing, as they can just not use most of the possibilities it has. I don't think it's easy to create an import plugin. > I'm afraid this doesn't directly help you yet, but if you want to > continue moving to free artwork, I'd like to help you get there. I do, and I welcome your help. I think I'll just try some things, but as I'm not really a great artist, someone else trying some things might be a better idea. ;-) Thanks, Bas -- I encourage people to send encrypted e-mail (see http://www.gnupg.org).
