This has the side-effect that all uses of 3649 will rotate the same.
It's better to do like Bram suggested:
object {
_3649_dot_dat
rotate <0, 0, clock*30>
matrix <0,1,0,-1,0,0,0,0,1,0,-59,-20>
#if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end { Color25 }
}
object {
_3649_dot_dat
rotate <0, 0, 360/80-clock*30> // ROTATING OPPOSITE WAY
matrix <0,1,0,-1,0,0,0,0,1,100,-59,-20>
#if (version >= 3.1) material #else texture #end { Color25 }
}
Here you have two engaged gear wheels rotating in opposite directions.
POV applies transformations in the order they appear:
first the _3649_dot_dat is rotated (in its own world) by rotate,
then it is put in the proper place in your scene by matrix.
