Thanks!  Since the minifigs only have one leg joint, the only way they
can actually walk is by shifting the weight of their body.  So I made
him bob sideways while walking.  I think it gives him a bit more
character, as well as actually being realistic!


The test animation I recently made is 1.4 seconds at 14 fps and yet
470 kb, so I think I have to increase compression rate after all.


Perhaps you could save some compression by letting the camera be
static, but then again it's a bit more boring to watch.  As long as
bandwidth is limited, I think we'll have to live with compression.
It's a fact of life...


How do you make the sky and ground? I tried to copy Datsville's,
but had no success.


I simply copied both the sky and the ground off the demo files from
POV-Ray.  I think I used the skies3.pov or something like that.
Remember to flip the sky upside down, though, as LDraw uses negative Y
as upwards.  (Use "rotate".)
