Currently the animation is done within LD4DModeler. Upon export a Ldraw
file is generated for each frame, these will be converted to .pov files
using l3p and finally be rendered using povray this is done via one file
but all the others are included via a for loop :)
I have plans for, real, single pov file export but this is tricky if I
don't want to do L3P's work of conversion. I have to reparse the L3P
generated pov file for this. I am also considering plugin support so
people can add custom per frame operations upon export (e.g. adding
stuff to the generated .pov)
For background image and things like that I am going to rely on include
files, supported in upcoming L3P version. Also adding lights while be
supported soon.
But for now Beta 3 is only about LD4DModelers animation features, export
will remain the same for now (except for one added feature, export of
the preview itself).
I am not into flash development at the moment so I don't realy know what
you're aiming at. The component I'm writing for the timeline displays
the actions like 'blocks' on a grid. You will be able to edit these
blocks much like the blocks of movie clips in a movie editor like
Premiere. The preview used is the 3D preview already in Beta 2.
