Are there any good FAQs/websites for a basic walkthrough of the easiest • way
to create an animation using .dat files?

I'm familiar with ML-CAD, L3P (&L3PAO), and POV-RAY, but haven't really • done
much beyond static renderings of my models.  I know that I could do an
animation the hard way with L3P by figuring out all of the lighting and
camera angles, render up a mess of individual .pov files and string them
together, but figured there has to be an easier way.

Finally finished putting together .dat files of the collector's series
X-Wing & Tie Interceptor and the new Blockade Runner and was hoping to • have
some animation fun with them.

Sorry if this is an obvious/frequent question, but while I've seen quite a
few folks posting some amazing animations, I hadn't seen much discussion • of
the nuts and bolts of how-to.

Hi John -
In a week or so there will be a basic animation tutorial posted on
LDraw.org.  I'm waiting to post it until I finish a few other things - with
it will be a release of much greater significance than just a tutorial.
