I've downloaded Megapov and plugged in the extra code but all I get is a black image. For that matter, I get a black image for every file I run that has MegaPov enabled. Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated. -Orion (22 years ago, 14-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi All! Is there a way in POV-Ray 3.5 to create an object that appears within a range of coordinates but at random coordinates each time a scene is rendered? Thanks for any insights you care to provide. Dave! (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
