Ingo's makemesh.inc with udo support:
   Please direct and comments about udo support to me. email

To use:
A working knowledge of POV-Ray and Moray is required.
Download the MMMM_021023.zip file from Ingo's web site, http://members.home.nl/seedseven/
Unzip into a directory that POV-Ray can find
   example:    ... POV-Ray\include
This will place include files here, and make a sub-directory with sample scenes.
   example:    ... POV-Ray\include\mesh_demo

I recommend that you rename the makemesh.inc file to makemesh_backup.inc

makemesh_udo1b1.zip 4k
   makemesh.inc

Place my modified makemesh.inc in the POV-Ray\include directory.

From POV-Ray, open sample scene.
   example: POV-Ray\include\mesh_demo\p_sphere.pov
I recommend changing the Object declaration from:

 Parametric (
F1, F2, F3,
<0, FromV(0)>, <2*pi, pi>,
200, 100,""
)

to:

 Parametric (
F1, F2, F3,
<0, FromV(0)>, <2*pi, pi>,
100, 50,"test_p_sphere.udo"
)

This will reduce the number of triangles and output two files
test_p_sphere.udo    (can be imported into Moray)
test_p_sphere.inc

Render scene.
The files are created (in this example) in POV-Ray\include\mesh_demo

From Moray, new scene (camera and light)
Import udo 
Look for POV-Ray\include\mesh_demo\test_p_sphere.udo
Assign a material.
Render scene.

Moray displays the wireframe from the *.udo,
but renders the mesh from *.inc (this is how udo's work)

If you want to try different settings, you will need to delete (in this example) the test_p_sphere.udo file first,
makemesh.inc will not overwrite files.

With the udo selected, you can
Convert To Mesh
You can now use the Mesh Editor to change the mesh.

Comments welcome
