Thanks Mike, that's at least an explanation not read about anywhere, but I
think I fouled it up now by changing "permissions" on it and the parent
folder... poof! it all disappeared.  Will have to check into uploading again
later.
I looked around at other places and ProHosting still has enough going for it
over those, amount of space being a big reason.  Other places want even more
control over how files are done, so in the meantime I'll keep this one.
Bothersome as it may be to all.

Very cool: texturing, shapes, camera movement.

I really can't download the mpeg from any given url, but I like to see
it. Does anyone here, who has the mpeg, have a ftp server?

Alright, this thing is now at my XOOM web space so get it while it's warm
(not hot, get it?).

http://members.xoom.com/omniverse/flightmw.mpg  Under 4 megabytes.

I'm keeping the xoom place around I guess.  I had a 30 minute upload but a
unusually slow download when checking the file.  I consistently have a 2KB
connection for comparison.
I wish everyone who tries it out much luck and a speedy d/l.  It should go
flawlessly though.
Reminder: the grainy appearence is not from 'jitter' being on, no
antialiasing was used in order to keep a sharpness to it.  I think it's the
'granite' normals causing the random twinkling of the dirt and vegetation
textures.
I apologize once again to those who had trouble getting this animation
before.

Just saw your animation today (i'm not reading p.b.a that frequently) and liked
it, even though your plane's pilot seems very drunk :-) RMF seems very good for
animations.

BTW for your information: My download rate from your ProHosting-Adress was about
33kb/sec while i got 58kb/sec with your xoom-accout.

Albeit slow.  With AA on, and a postage stamp sized180x90 frame, my 500MHz
PC does each at an average of 50 seconds.  Multiply that by 320 as I
currently am doing and it's about 4 1/2 hours per full test.  Not terribly
bad, but not fast by any means.

Hey, wow, that's good to know.  Bad for ProHosting, but good for XOOM.  Been
thinking it over and with XOOM offering up plenty enough space (500MB
storage) and direct links I might as well use it more rather than quit it.
I reread the TOS and I'm not too worried about them using content on their
site for the sole purpose of promoting themselves.  Just wouldn't want it to
go beyond that.  'nuf said.

Btw, cable modem, DSL, dial-up?  Which is it you use there, may I ask?

I know, just tried to use an isosurface for my ice floes, cancelled the first
render... Of course that's extreme because of Rune's quite complicated
construction.

It's a radio link to the university here, very cheap and fast 24 hours
connection :-) look at http://www.schunter.etc.tu-bs.de/ (german)

I'm envious.  That was going to be my 4th guess (I'm lying).  Just now going
to get a cable modem and quit the satellite TV.  That wireless stuff will
probably be available soon after I get familiar with cable. Sarcasm
intended.

I put another animation at http://members.xoom.com/omniverse/mtnlakes.mpg
and it's just a tiny 180x90 res., but 320 frames.  The odd resolution is
incompatible with CMpeg (or my media players) so it's rough around the edges
but a good file size at 704KB.  Would have been 950KB posted here so I
thought it best to upload to the web space.
Things to note about it:  a mysterious lake depth change occurs near the
beginning.  Only the texture is scaled but neither the plane that makes the
water surface nor the isosurface has a scale in it themselves.  Not a clue
as to why this is.
This animation is doing a time-lapse sort of thing with snow and vegetation
changes which might not be too noticeable at first.  I've got to get a
spline path put in!  The camera is not moving too well yet.
Enjoy it for what it's worth.
