Hello all you super-smart PoV-Rayers out there, I've been fooling around with some simple animation the past few days and for some reason I can't seemt o be able to do what I want. I have a bowl-ish shape (thanks Michael L. for the generator in (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

--snip-- (...) Nope. =( It will render the animation in a movie file format (..mpg, .avi, etc..) when you are done. LD4DModler does not go the route of frame-by-frame animation as POV-Ray does, it uses 3D modeling. (The following text comes from a (...)

(...) If you just do a straight "L3P model.dat," then you're right; the whole model fits very nicely in the camera's view (though a little fish-eyed, I find). But if you switch the view to orthographic, the model can appear a bit off-center and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.ray)
