loops to check how it looks).

I didn't know that. How does L3P use POV's "clock"? This is really interesting!

Oh, almost there...
This is what L3P produces:
#declare _40_MyAn_dot_dat = union {
// "MyAn" - (MyAn)
// Name: @MyAn.dat
// Author: Tore Eriksson
// LDraw Animation Master File
// Frame 000
object { _40_myan000_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
// STEP
#if (clock > 1)
// Frame 001
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan001_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock > 2)
// Frame 002
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan002_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock > 3)
// Frame 003
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan003_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock > 4)
#end // if clock
}

And this is how I wish the output looked like:


#declare _40_MyAn_dot_dat = union {
// "MyAn" - (MyAn)
// Name: @MyAn.dat
// Author: Tore Eriksson
// LDraw Animation Master File
#if (clock = 0)
// Frame 000
object { _40_myan000_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
// STEP
#end
#if (clock = 1)
// Frame 001
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan001_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock = 2)
// Frame 002
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan002_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock = 3)
// Frame 003
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan003_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
}

The only problem is that L3P superimposes the new frame on old ones instead of
showing just the new.

Lars, is there any way we can work this out??? :)))

(...) Yep, I've encountered this before and "solved" it the same way. LPUB will render this correctly, however.

(...) ---...--- Yes, that is quite a good solution. It misses frame #000, but that is easily done by hand.

  Re: Automated minifig walking animation include file for Povray (Was: 8002 destroyer)
 
(...) I think I have the same idea as you have. The function (method?) "<Minifig01>.MFWalk = 40" is unfortunately hard-coded inside the exe file. I don't want it that way. I want it to be an external, easy-to-make module from a library, and the next (...) (21 years ago, 18-Feb-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.animation)
