I've managed to make animation of a rotating sphere. What I really want to
do is rotate a sphere on it's axis while it orbits another rotating sphere.
Generally I export the scene out of Moray and animate in POV-ray, if that
makes a difference.

I am hopeful someone can post an example of what the code would look like
for such a scene.

Thanks

dan

 This is really very simple. The sphere that you want spinning and orbiting
needs to have it's spin applied before it is translated out to it's orbiting
position. The first sphere is the one that spins only on it's axis. The
second will spin on it's axis and orbit the first sphere.

sphere { 0, 1
  rotate y*360*clock
   pigment { checker color x*1 color z*1 scale .5 }
}

sphere { 0, 1
 rotate y*360*clock
  translate x*4
   rotate y*360*clock
    pigment { checker color x*1 color rgb 1 scale .5 }
}

  This very simple example shows how to make it spin one time on it's
axis and also rotate one time around the center sphere for one full
clock cycle. You just need to adjust the degrees rotation and the
direction you want it to orbit for the scene you are designing.

You call that simplistic ?

Bob, you have become a declare freak and might want to seek professional
help soon.

Thanks ken,

this is what i endeded up with that seems to work. I imagine the axis are
different then your example because of the left/right handeness thing
between pov-ray and moray. Or maybe not. I am clearly a novice.

sphere { // Jupiter_Sphere
  <0,0,0>,1
  material {
    Jupiter_Tex
  }
  scale 40.0
  rotate -360.0*z*clock
}
sphere { // Callisto__sphere
  <0,0,0>,1
  material {
    Moon_Tex
    }
  scale 4.8
   rotate -360.0*y*clock
  translate  50.0*x
   rotate z*-360*clock
}

The method is simplistic, yes.  Putting a working (ha, yeah sure) example in was
probably a mistake, it was flawed the second time too.  Here's the corrected (?)
one:

}
camera

  location  <-5,5,-15>
  angle 25

#declare OrbitPos2=<3,0,0>; // orbital distance [x here]
#declare Diam1=1; // sizes (not real)

#declare Rotate1=<0,28,0>; // days (not real) multiply this by Revolve#

         rotate -360*Rotate1*clock rotate NS1 // axial tilt
          rotate 360*Revolve1*clock // counter-turn of orbit
         translate OrbitPos1 // needs to be opposite of other
           rotate -360*Revolve1*clock
          rotate NS2 // yes, NS2 here too, orbital tilt (E&M)
            } // orbit

          rotate NS2 // orbital tilt (E&M)
           } // orbit

object {RotatingRevolvingSphere1}
object {RotatingRevolvingSphere2}


Maybe I can get the second reply cancelled as well, it isn't good, and I'm not
saying this will be right either.  Best to render 100 frames at 320x240 res. to
check it out.

thanks.

I have kinda gone in this direction. It is easier for me understand what is
happening. But i'll keep yours as a reference for when I'm more versed in in
pov-ray.

Hi dcc, you recently wrote in povray.animations:

You may want to take a look at the animation plugin that works with
the latest version of Moray. Then you won't have to work in both GUI
and non-GUI environments.

Thanks Lutz

I did take a look at the animation plugin for the new moray beta but I
couldn't easily figure out how to automate the rotation aspects.

What if the orbit is tilted?  The orbit of the Moon is tilted about 5.145
degrees.  Would that be incorporated if the Moon is rotated on its axis, tilted
over a little, translated, rotated 5.145 degrees and revolved around the
Earth?  What if a elliptical orbit is desired?

All good questions. I haven't attempted any tilts or an ellipse orbit. The
tilt seems simple, but the orbit may involve a spline path or something. I
don't know if that can be done in moray.

this is as far as I have gotten.
