Anton always include the ini with the pov file, so perhaps whatever tools come from this can just auto create the ini file as well. > > Now that we have an LDraw steering committee, maybe we could actually get an > > standardized animation syntax.... :D > > And I'm a member of the LSC -- LDraw Standards Committee...! :D Hey! Cool! I know the syntax alone wont be much good. If there aren't tools that use it, the syntax can't really be proven or improved. And I imagine it will take some trial and error before everyone is happy. And even though you invision your tool as a scripting langauge thing, in the end, I would like to have some sort of GUI editor similar to what Stefan described earlier. So, what do we do to make this happen? Do we round up everyone who is interested in this? I know people have dabbled for years, but I don't know if anything is really a working product except for Roland Melkert's LD4DModeler. I have never tried it and I don't know anything about it. I know Ahui Herrera wrote the LDraw.org animation tutorials. I just went looking and the other 2 LDraw animators I know of are Steve Krass and Martin Humel. Anyone I miss? Shall we all get together and talk? Maybe if we put our heads together, we can come up with something! James

(...) I already am. :) I noticed that L3P already marks the beginning of these blocks: // Camera (Latitude,Longitude,Radius = 45,45,0) and // Lights: Now, I've asked Lars to let L3P also mark the ends of these blocks.
