I'm not even going to try to tell you how to animate your "gate"(it's
called an iris). It gives me a headache just thinking about
it. The individual pieces can be done either with simple csg
operations or can be done with bezier patches or traingles.

Try this news server in the povray.binaries.images groupfor some
excellent spacecraft images. Also the i.r.t.c has
images available as well as some 2.234 billion sites on the
web. I would think a yahoo search would easily turn these
up.
