Right,

Tired of all the show off's with their Brazil renders, I decided to do something
for us guys using Milkshape who want sexy looking renders too but cant afford
the software to do it.

So I give you my Milkshape POV-Ray 3.5 export plug-in and a tutorial on
How to render your models "Brazil" style.

The plug-in, documentation and tutorial are all included inside the ZIP and are
in HTML format for easy reading.

This isn't a stand-alone renderer, you'll need to download POV-Ray 3.5 (its free)
to get the final output. The tutorial walks you through it step but step but
you still need a reasonable amount of intelligence.

Download is here: http://www.speedfreak.com/downloads/msPOV-Ray35Exporter_v1.0.zip

Once again, Im grovelling on my knee's for donations. The plug-in isn't crippled
but it still took me a lot of time and effort to write it. If you find it useful and
can spare a dollar or more to a down and out developer then go ahead and
make my day (https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=jed%40speedfreak.com&item_name=Milkshape+POVRay+3.5+plug-in+donations&item_number=msPOVRay35Exp&no_shipping=1&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD). (Donation link is also in the documentation).

Over and out.

Nice job on this. I saw that you released this in the MS3D forums as well. I seem to recall a bit of discussion there about the lack of a good rendering plugin for MS3D so I know those guys will be grateful too.

You really are quite a generous bloke jed, you help the community loads and it would be in alot worse off state without your input and these little inventions.

Thanks for all the stuff you do, this looks really great. Keep up all the great work,

Ooh, thats a big one missus *fnar*

I'm working on version 1.1 of the plug-in at the moment. Not massive changes, just a few little feature tweaks.

I'm thinking of looking at a BSP2POV converter too so you can render maps too but I may of bitten off more than I can chew with that one. :confused:
