(URL) uses Anton Raves' POV-Ray library. You can create many minifigs with it, and best yet, you can walk them. Option one is to walk it in a straight line--boring. Option two, walk it on a spline. Very cool! There is an animation of a minifig (...) (19 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.announce)

Your computer is just fine to handle the POV-Raying. I made many animations on my old PII400. What got me going was this here animation tutorial: (URL) didn't actually use the "ClockMod" tools described here, though. But I found the tutorials useful (...)

Could someone make a list (and post it somewhere...) of all tyhe different walking (or other) animation options available? I can think a few more examples: * MLCad has some support for creating minifig walking animations. * LD4DModeler can model (...) (19 years ago, 5-Jun-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation)

I am getting really excited over how fast progress is made just a couple of days from project restart. The strange thing is that what takes most time is to build the models for the scenes. Animation is relatively quickly done. Datsville as scenery (...) (19 years ago, 30-Sep-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation)
