Hi everybody!

It's been a while since I last posted here. Apologies for sneaking below the
radar for so long (special apologies to Tim and Orion).

The news I've lately been busy rehashing my old LMM Minifig Walk POVray include
file into something that doesn't send potential users running the other way. In
fact, it is no longer a POVray include file but a POVray include file driven by
a executable with a GUI.

I've been developing the new version for a while in the dark. But with the New
Year coming up, I would like to release a very preliminary, very ALPHA but quite
operational version to let people know what is coming up.

Its functionality for now is minmal (much less than the latest version of the
old LMM include file), but its potential is exponentially bigger. I've been
searching for a year for the right tool to be able to develop this app. And now
that I've found it I am very energized to properly implement a whole bunch of
functions into it. Functions that so far I could use in POVray but had no way of
passing along to  a non-experienced user.

Anyway, please see for yourselves.

(And, REMEMBER, this is in highly alpha stage)

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Yes!

At last I've seen the first POV-based LDraw animation system that really works
for me! I just downloaded it, (Well, I had to download MLCad and install it too
in order to generate a minfig. That was the only complicated part!). Then I ran
the program and opened POV-Ray - and it really *worked* from the first attempt!
I am very impressed and must say it looks extremely promising.

Keep up the good work. I may give up my LDA project and join LMM if it can be
made that modular so one can make animations other than just minifigs and store
scripts (almost) as easy as adding new parts or primitives in LDraw.
