(...) Hello I dont have much experience with writing programs. But I am working on writing a tutorial on how to make animations with povray using the clock, transform, and rotate commands. Maybe a couple of weeks. For now this is the best site I (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I've run into this problem, and my caveman-sophistication led me simply to translate the object a little to put it back in line with the look_at coordinates. Even so, I often have to change the "PCT" value to 5 or 10 to accommodate all of my (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Don't you then have to move the camera a ways back to get all your objects in the image compared to larger camera angles? This is what I tend to do, long ways away, small canera angle (anaogous to "telephoto" in real photogs, the images there (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) In the camere code block, uncomment "orthographic." You may have to play with the camera location and look_at, because the camera appears to move when you render in orthographic mode, but that does the trick. Also, higher values for angle (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi All, I should know this ... what's the trick for turning off "perspective", if you will, so that you can do a straight-on side view? That is, to remove the "vanishing into the horizon" effect? ISO views, is that what it's called? Ugh ... HELP! -s (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
