This Moray PlugIn Implements an interface to Chris Colefax's Galaxy Include file.

Use the new Galaxy button to create a Galaxy (in the create tab). Instructions for the use of the Galaxy Include file are included.

Copy the .dll file into the Moray PlugIn directory.

Thats all there is to it!!

None as yet, but I'm sure you will tell me about any that spring up ;-)

Some of the Galaxy Inc file parameters have not been implemented yet, namely...

For Galaxy BackGrounds

galaxy_intensity,

galaxy_rotate,

galaxy_distance,

galaxy_origin

For Galaxy Starfield

galaxy_seed,

galaxy_rotate,

galaxy_origin

For Galaxy Objects

galaxy_seed,

galaxy_colour_turb,

galaxy_intensity,

galaxy_rotate,

galaxy_distance,

galaxy_origin,

galaxy_colour1,

galaxy_colour2,

galaxy_colour3,

galaxy_star_colouration,

galaxy_pattern_scale,

galaxy_pattern_origin,

galaxy_turb_origin

All of the above are only implemented in the Galaxy Inc file options, I've effectively made them global options - if there is demand I'll add them to the individual options.

If you do find any bugs/features or would like more features added or have a comment on the implementation then you can e-mail me @

keithh@totalise.co.uk

1. None at present.

The newest version of the Galaxy PlugIn will always be available @

The link at the bottom of my Povray page should allow anyone to download it.

Many thanks to Lutz, the POV Team and of course Chris Colefax (Master of the include file).
