  Re: Ldraw Minifig "Machinima" POVray include file
 
(...) Cheers indeed! Slick. I haven't been posting in this thread but I've definitely been following along - this is going to come in *very* handy for the next scene where I need to march 16 minifigs down a street. I like this last walk mode the (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.animation, FTX)

  Re: Ldraw Minifig "Machinima" POVray include file
 
Thanks to the advice of some friendly folks over at Brickfilms, I have now added a "natural" walk mode to the include file.

  Ldraw Minifig "Machinima" POVray include file
 
Hi all, It turns out that what I thought was an "ugly hack" had more life in it than I thought. I've continued working on the minifig animation include file for POVray that I posted here last week. I've now added several functions to it, and have (...) (21 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.animation)
 
  Re: Thinking about getting into animation ...
 
(...) I have the movie maker set & i think the camera isn't very good-it's ok for kids to play with, but for more serious animation attempts, try a better camera. I just got the Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000, which is a webcam, but with a much better (...) (21 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.animation)
 
  Thinking about getting into animation ...
 
Is it worth picking up the Lego Moviemaker set if I want to start doing Lego movies? If not, what sort of equipment/software should I be looking at? What kind of advice can you offer a total newbie? (: (21 years ago, 22-Feb-04, to lugnet.animation)
