How to make a "brick by brick video"
17:08:2002

What you need
:::::::::::::

.Hardware

  A PC "x86/intel or compatible"
  With windows 9x/NT/2K/XP

  Note: it can be done in Linux and
  in MACOS 8.6 and up I think "but
  I don't think different LOL"
  but this tutorial is only for PC
  windows/dos users, linux and mac
  users can read this tutorial and
  if they think they know how to do
  it with there os then they can do
  it.

  Play well!

.Software

  Ldraw "Required"
  Mlcad or Leocad "Required one at least"
  L3P "Required"
  POV-RAY 3.1g "Required but you may use the
                win32 or dos version, If you
                want to use the dos version
                like me then you need a text
                editor for editing the
                pov file"
  A text editor "optional"

Steps to do
:::::::::::

1. Once we have done a model we prepare it
    but for L3P if is a MPD model it must be
    like this wiil use LL6631.MPD made by me.
    Note that the main file is called LL6631.ldr
    then we have LL6631a1.ldr, LL6631a2.ldr,
    LL6631a3.ldr, LL6631a4.ldr, LL6631b1.ldr
    Now well extract them from the mpd file
    to our model dir in ldraw.

    How to extract them with MLCAD
    ..............................
    Click Multipart button in
    the menu bar then Export Models...
    now browse to you ldraw\models dir
    then extract them.

    Now will use L3P to make our ldraw model
    in to pov-ray.

    This is the commanlige I use for making
    the scene:

    l3p.exe LL6631.ldr new\LL6631.pov -b9 -f -q1 -o

2. Now come the editing part we open the pov file
    that we just made whit POV-RAY 3.1g for win32
    or we open it whit notepad or any other editor.
    We have to add

    #if (clock > x ) // where x is goes a number

    before each object and don't forget to put the

    #end

    sintax if you are no sure how to see the example
    LL6631.pov

    There is no need to add more code but you may add
    more if you whish like floor, sky, rain or want
    ever.

3. Well this step is the most important one
    because the point is to render an animation
    and you can't make an animation without rendering
    it. Now to render it make sure you have this
    settings.

    Initial_clock = 1
    Final_clock   = 45

    Initial_Frame = 1
    Final_Frame   = 45
    Cyclic_Animation = on

    Why 45 well because we need
    1 number higher that 44
    as 44 is use in the last part

    #if (clock > 44)

    so we put 45 because 44 + 1 = 45

    Now we will render it use any resolution
    and use -d command line

4. Now that we have rendered our aninamtion
    we have to make our images in I don't know
    but in to the correct way so we get animation
    like the one you have seen. Each image must be
    like this:

    For now we only have 3 options

    1 Use 15 frames per second
    2 Use 25 frames per second
    3 Use 30 frames per second

    The last one is only if you are a
    30 frames per second fan

    Where file is goes what ever format is your
    images example BMP TGA PNG

    LL663101.file we copy in to a new dir and leave it with this name
                  LL663102.file
                  we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663102.file
                  we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663103.file

    LL663102.file we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663104.file
                  we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663105.file
                  we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663106.file
    LL663103.file we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663107.file
                  we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663108.file
                  we copy in to a new dir and rename it to LL663109.file

    Come on you know how to continue do this with all until the last one.

    Now if you want to do it with 25 frames the animation then instead of
    using the table of 3 we use the table of 5 and for 30 frames we use
    the table of 10.

    Then we use a video editor for know I won't tell you how to make
    this part but is easy try to do it by yourself.

    I hope It was easy to follow this tutorial.
    Play well
