Hello Mike
Glad to see someone starting into animation. Here are some changes I made to
your file. first translate the bowl: translate<-400,0,-400> this will put it
at 0,0,0. Second I simplified your Camera definition. Much easier to use.
object { bowl_dot_ldr translate <-400,0,-400> #if (version >= 3.1) material
#else texture #end { Color7 } }
// Background:
background { color rgb <0,0,0>}
// Camera
camera {
location <700,-400,0>
sky -y
right -16/9*x
look_at <0,0,0>
angle 67.3801
rotate <0,360*clock,0>
}
Good luck
Steve
