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

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 best, I think. I downloaded the include but haven’t looked through it all yet. You’ve done a fantastic job at keeping it customizable.

Keep up the great work!
