Default Hello there, and newbie question

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick "Hello" first as a new member in this forum,
I have tried the demo of AC3D and, what to say, was convinced and registered .
I mainly do 3D graphics for fun, sometimes for little illustrations.
So I am far from beeing a professional, but willing to learn a lot
--

So concerning my first question.
I like to use PovRay as my main render engine.
So I do export the models, from AC3D into a pov-file.
However when I render this file straight, the camera view is somehow changed - what was in the middel of the 3D view in AC3D is now in the upper right corner etc. I havenīt found anything in the manual.
So what I am doing wrong? Is there another/better way to set the camera view for a PovRay export?

All the best
Robert

yep, thats a big problem with the current exporter
the only thing u can do is to move the objects a bit around and then render again....

The camera angle should be more accurate if you position in walk mode before exporting to .pov.
