This Moray PlugIn Implements an interface to Chris Colefax's Liquid Spray Include File. It is very similar to the LensFlare PlugIn that Lutz implemented except that you can see where the Spray will appear (@ the top of the pyramid!).

Copy the .inc files into the Povray Include directory!

Copy the .dll file into the Moray PlugIn directory!

Thats all there is to it!!

All of the options (barring the ones set out below) should be available and should work as you would expect (Please see the Spray.html file that comes with Liquid Spray).

Currently the Color_map options are _not_ used in the plugin, therefore the following options are not exported :-

1) spray_color_map

2) use_color_map

3) color_map_triangle

4) color_map_frequency.

The reason for this is that blob_components cannot have a material attached to them.

The default for spray_sky and spray_direction has been changed to coincide with Morays co-ordinate system (Z is up).

The default for the spray_strength is 8 and currently is _not_ dependent on the spray_direction.

The default for Spray_loop is on, since otherwise nothing is raytraced! (This is not strictly true but you need to setup the clock and the appropriate file or command line options to render the animation if spray_loop is turned off).

The default for particle_size is 0.33.

The defaults for spray_hollow and spray_material are on, as it then works correctly with both MORAY 3.1 and POV 3.1.

NOTE: the above is only a problem if you put the Liquid Spray Include files in the PovScn directory under Moray.

I've included the new spray.inc, sprayg.inc and the HTML instruction files in the zip!

Rotating the Spray Pryamid does not affect the direction of the Spray particles!

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 @

The newest version of the Liquid Spray PlugIn will always be available @

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

Many thanks to Lutz for Moray, Chris for his include files, and the POV Team without which none of this would be possible.
