POV-RAY How to?

Hello

I've just started playing with povray & followed the instruction on Jon Fawcetts site.

The part I modelled is a beaker cup, it has no texture applied to the cup body but a wood texture applied to the handle.

I noticed from the messages window it says "Cleanup Parse Warning: No objects in scene"

How do I place the model in a scene?

Thanks

Geoff

Maybe you'll find the error message in the documentation:

'm guessing it's missing a path to an 'include' library.

The place I'd ask for help with POV-Ray is at one of their dedicated newgroups:
