• Moved uv_mapping keyword to materials for better control and compatibility with other programs that read POV-Ray code
• Ground texture can now have full POV-Ray code instead of a single color
• Sky is now controlled with POV-Ray code (presets available as before)
• Added POV-ray code to placeholders - including material
• Added a control to rotate all the lights in the scene around the y axis
• Added a new type of placeholder: Anchor
• Added convertion of lines in OBJ files into UV tube meshes
• Separated all the UV functions into separate buttons
• Faster redraw and 3D manipulation
• PoseRay now uses the Maya exporter from DAZ Studio intead of Bryce
• Added an icon on the lists to rename materials and groups

• Added a way to insert an image map into any POV-Ray code in PoseRay.
• Changed the groups tab menus. Now each command has its own button for easier application.
