Hello,

Have You mentioned the silence during pov-animation-cometition?  

Does anyone know about tools to create 3-d Sounds for POV-Ray rendered
movies?

My christmas whish is an image-paralleled output of a wav.file which
could be merged into mpeg movies.
Implemention into POV-Code could be this way:

#background { color SummerSky 
>>	      sound { wav "summerfield.wav" loop } 
	      }

camera { location < 0,0,-5 >  look_at  < 0,0,0 >
>>       left_ear < -1,0,-5 > right_ear < +1,0,-5 >
         }

sphere { 0, 1 
	pigment { color Yellow}
>>      sound { wav "bee.wav" loop }
	translate < clock*10-5, sin(clock*2*pi), sin(clock*6*pi) > 
	}

Imagine all the stunning effects you could create with stereo&doppler
calculations ..

Unfortunately i`m a mechanic and not a programer, so i can`t make my
idea come true.

Thanks for reading..

This could be useful if povray outputted to some animation format
(such as avi).

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):_;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/

The mac version outputs to .mov - does this have a sound channel?
Any physics professors/students here? :-)

Outputting to avi would really be an useful feature.

  AVI is a lossless format so that can't be the reason for not supporting it.

yes, this format supports uncompressed frames
http://www.jmcgowan.com/avicodecs.html#DIB
this should be simple to init empty avi first and
add every rendered frame to uncompressed avi
or not init empty but put rendered subframes into exact place
and at finish pover can run something like avi2mpg
this should use exact the same disk space like set of tga or bmp

	AVI is not always lossless if you select another common codec
like the Indeo ones, which are definitely destructive.

	It's also possible to achieve good compression with lossless
codec like the Ben Rudiak-Gould's "huffyuv" in RGB mode. Saves a good
deal of disk space and is fast. I recommend it (Win32):

yes it's good solution, and source available ...

... and Huff is well implemented in pov ;-)

  Ok, let's say that the AVI format supports lossless storage.

Hrm, it seems that i didn`t expressed my intentions/wishes right... or
is no one interested in sound-includes???

.. i should find another <my own> way for Sound-FX ... thanks for

I just now came across this: http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/3DMiDi/

It purports to be able to output to POV-Ray.  You apparently give it a MID file
as input and it creates some sort of scene file but I am downloading it as I
type so I don't know anything about it.
I was trying to locate the person who had posted messages before about doing
some kind of sound file input or output from POV-Ray probably a year or more
ago.  No luck though.
