As you can see this is a very manual workflow and it is not really suitable
for more complex animations, because every moving variable has to be
searched replaced by a macro. It is not a problem for the camera and light
sources, but it is tedious task for the L3p generated DAT originated code.
It is nearly impossible to find in 300 kByte source code the right parameter.

This approach differs from Tore Eriksson's LDA or James Reynolds' LANI
project, because there the frames are generated in DAT format that can be
later rendered with POV. Here the frames are produced inside POV.


I will have a serious look at your approach, since you have solved some of
the problems I'm stuck with - later, when time provides.

This approach differs from my current LDA project, but as I said to James
Reynoyd in my latest I mail, next planned LDA version will be totally
revised, using the LANI syntax (why have two different?) and will only
produce one POV file.

I am now in the phase only gathering ideas and I haven't decided yet what
way to choose.


Same here! :o)

Thanks for you all,
comments, ideas, arguments etc. are welcome.

I wonder when the first animation with a real story, not just a walking
minifig, a moving vehicle, or light and/or camera moving around [almost]
static object will be seen... I have bounch of ideas for short slapsticks,
but will not be able to present any of them this year... :o(
