The project continues full steam ahead - the idea of developing a fairly
complete Ldraw minifig animation metalanguage for POVray, with 2 levels of
customization built in is panning out pretty nicely  (so far). That said, the
"to do" list is getting higher and higher 8?)

I've also discovered a bug in the previously released include files which makes
the alignment of minifigs with the scenery not perfect (it's off in the Y axis).
The cause is me cutting and pasting code without stopping to understand all its
consequences and has an easy fix (updated file to come).

Cheers

That's pretty cool. One thing though - walk across the room and note the way
your arms swing. Now look at the animation again.

Cheers,

Allister
