Hi all

I have just got back to POV-Ray after some absence and am revisiting old
projects. One of these is an animation of walking ants. So far, they only
walk in a straight line, but i think they do a fairly convincing job of it.
It is a study for a more ambitious animation that i think i am now ready to
tackle.

The new animation is to be based on a work by (and intended as a
humble tribute to) M.C.Escher. As the ants will follow a more complex path
(a mobius strip) there is still a bit of work to do. I am tidying up the
old code, and thought that with some documentation, this project might be
suitable as material for a tuorial.

A sample of the animation is at: http://members.westnet.com.au/whetware/

I will post the source code there soon, or i can email a copy (or post it
here) if anyone is interested.

Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.

p.s.
This is my first post here, i hope i put it in the right area.

Regards

Gary Collins
