Just thought I'd post this here.

I've just finished my POV-Ray 3.5 export plug-in for Milkshape and I'm currently writing up a tutorial on how to use it in conjunction with POV-Ray to produce model preview's that look kind of like the ones produced by "Brazil".

I'm talking about nice ray-traced renders with diffuse shadows and transparent textures that really make them look good.

The tutorial goes through all the steps, shows you how to do a posed model (no more "arms out, legs together" stuff), how to use transparent textures and a bunch of other useful stuff.

The good news is that the plug-in is free (well donationware really) and so is POV-Ray. :)

He're a quick sample of a posed Milkshape model, exported with the plug-in and rendered in POV-Ray.

He're a quick sample of what a model looks like with transparent textures, rendered without and with additional lighting.

Within a day or so. I ironed out the final bugs in the plug-in today and I'm just writing up the documentation/tutorial for it.
