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 (...)

Tore, Sorry. Things shouldn't be that difficult. I suppose I could have made the Couriership demo easier (I'll have to fix the 404). Anyway, the minifig should be alot easier, because everything except Anton's Library and POV-Ray is included. Easy (...) (20 years ago, 3-Mar-05, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.cad.ray)

(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 (...) (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation, lugnet.announce)
