Ed or Eduardo?  Thanks!  I don't think there is any standard for that
animation.  I just wanted to create something with a higher aspect ratio
then the standard 4x3 or 1.33 for a bit of widescreen look.  So I choose a
nice 1.66 ratio using 800x480.

A word on DVD NTSC specs:

DVD specs are at Xx525.  For non-anamorphic dvd realeses the resolution is
something like 700x525.  For 16x9 anamorphic titles the resolution is more
like 933x525.

I used The following sequence of programs for this:
MLCAD           (we all know this one)
ML2LW           (a handy MLCAD to Lightwave conversion tool)
Lightwave 5.6   (very nice 3-d rendering suite)
JASC Animation Shop 3 or Adobe Premier (I can't remember which I used to
create the MPEG-2 file)

What standard is this of 800 by 480 pixels I think this is above DVD resolution if I'm correct. Which way u made it Mlcad -> L3P -> POV-RAY or Anton Raves's POV-RAY lib. Very cool!! (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.space)
