(...) It might be easier to move the camera according to the clock variable, and go with the filenames POV gives you (e.g. scene001.tga, scene002.tga, etc.) If that doesn't work for you, I might be able to whip up a quickie Perl script that will (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| | Batch .pov file creation?
|

Can anyone tell me how to create a series of .pov files all with a slightly different name (i.e. file01.pov, file02.pov, etc.) that has slightly different camera coordinates for each file? Basically I am trying to create a series of rendered images (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I agree with Steve. My program is processing mesh by mesh, try it by using the clipboard-feature. You would give away control facilities if there's no control in the dat-file.

My thought was that the smoothing could be turned on and off, as appropriate. That would require metastatements in the parts files. Extra metastatements will slow down processing, but not by very much. They will also increase file size, but again, (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Instead of shoving all these metastatements into files, maybe a file conversion utility (DAT -> POV) should keep an INI file that records which parts can be processed in this way, and which cannot. I'm basing this suggestion on the assumption that (...) (23 years ago, 22-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Wow! Yes, I'd say it's definitely of interest! At least it is to me. :) (...) Heck yeah! Would there be any point to discussing possible meta-statements, to turn smoothing on and off for different sections of part files? Steve (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Another idea is to choose different angles depending on how long the edges are next to that angle. For longer edges, a smaller bend is more likely to be a real crease. I used to use this sort of heuristic in edge detection image processing (...) (23 years ago, 21-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.ray)
