Hello, I'm working on a small animation using TGA files output from POV-Ray (IBMPC). If I output at a resolution higher than 320x200 (I usually use 640x480), using Dave's Targa Animator results, in a scrambled looking animation. It looks like the images have been interlaced and a wrap around problem exists. I am using the PLAY utility to play the resulting animation. Is there another player that handles larger resolutions or could it be a problem with the lack of support for my Diamond Stealth video card? Has anyone done any large animations with POV-Ray? Is there some type of shell available on the PC that will allow me to adjust things like camera, rotation of an object, etc. and spit out new scene description files in mass? For example, if I have four spheres that are placed above a checkered plane and I want to generate 2 seconds of animation (30 fps) of them rotating about the Y-axis, is there a way around having to create 60 individual POV files and edit each one to by hand to perform the needed rotations for each frame? Also, is there a POV-Ray mailing list? Thanks for any information you can provide. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + | Mark E.

To subscribe to it, send mail to listserv@trearn.bitnet with one line (in the body not the subject line) containing : subscribe dkb-1 <Your full name> You will then be added to the list, and then send mail to : dkb-1@trearn.bitnet to get it distributed to everyone else on the list.

Is there any other way to get mail to the list server? Or even to send mail to the list for asking questions? Scott Mark sjm@miles.com
