Default rendering

is there a render option in AC3D like the one in 3D Max where i can render the light and reflections, and do you think that there will be an upgrade in the future where they'll incoperate animation controls?

and by the way i love this program! i went from 3D max to Lightwave to ACDsee. and i keep coming back to AC3D because its so striaght forward and easy to use. those other programs just gave me a headache they got the big delete button and refund

Have you installed Povray (povray.org)?

If so, check the path and filename - the povray version may have changed.

Put it somewhere you can remember, then adjust the paths in the AC3D render dialog.
