Hi all, Not sure if this has been brought up before so sorry if it has. When looking at one of my renders today Ross Crawford commented that the tracks were to reflective. We worked out that this is because they use the chrome color (383) to define (...) (19 years ago, 26-Feb-06, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the input, Tim. I agree. Exponential functions for acceleration or fall would be nice to have. Sinus and Cosinus functions will make smoother walks. The best would probably be support for splines or maps, but that's way beyond my (...) (19 years ago, 25-Feb-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

I've changed priorities once again. The need of what I call standalone scripts have turned my todo-list upside-down. And the Tween command has made all the difference! After working all night, I finally made it work. That is, the first of the three (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-06, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.dev)

I'm ashamed to admit, but I have got stuck in a quite simple Maths problem. It's all about an implementation of the basic formula y=kx+m, but somehow I have managed to think the wrong way. Luckily, I made problems like this in a glanse back in (...) (19 years ago, 4-Feb-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) True, but IFNOTPOV produces "if(0)" statements that can very easily be replaced by "if(-1)" and all the commented out tracks will be uncommented again. I find that easier than copy and paste camera positions. /Tore (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Everything inside IFNOTPOV won't show up in the POV file at all, so that would still require two passes (one with IFNOTPOV to generate the camera, and one without to have the correct scene). --Travis (19 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
