Animating with POVray is a matter of mathematics, but animating Ldraw-generated things is pure horror. You have to analyse the source file to locate the different objects, you have to find out where the pivots are (which is not easy, since the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.animation)

(...) Chris, Actually it took longer than you'd expect. I haven't learned enough about using the PoV-Ray clock yet, so I did it the hard way. For each frame I created a new file with MLCad, then ran it through L3P to produce the POV file. From there (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.animation)

Who do you know in their right mind that would stand in their stocking feet on a cold, hard cement floor in their basement for three straight hours endlessly clicking off over 650 photos of exactly the same thing?? We animators are a nutty lot. :) (...) (21 years ago, 13-Dec-03, to lugnet.animation)

(...) Specifically, make sure you get one that does all the above in streaming webcam mode. The most valuable tool in stop-mo animation is onion-skinning. This generally only works in "webcam" mode, in my experience. I use a Logitech QuickCam Pro (...) (21 years ago, 12-Dec-03, to lugnet.animation)
