Looks a bit like light pulses bouncing back and forth.

I invented a version that starts with an image that looks like a sky, 
and then ripples kinda like water. It's really cool.

Unfortunately, for reasons I cannot comprehend, POV-Ray crashes *every* 
time I render it. :-| And given that POV-Ray *never* crashes... that's 
strange. (Always crashes in a different place too... oddly.)

See povray.binaries.images to find out what this actually is...

Very Cool, I'm inspired to start a similar sort of animation, a heat wave.
Only thing is when I get to the 100th frame, I don't want POV-Ray to
process the data 100 * 99 * 98 etc or 100! times, so how do I get POV-Ray
to save the data in between frames so I do not have to keep iterating from
scratch? I've searched the database for this numerous times and came out
wanting.

You'll have to write your data to a file in each frame and read in back 
in in the next frame. See 
http://povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/238/ for details on file i/o 
with the SDL.


HTH,
Florian

Hm, a little late now, but I've got IO-Macros on my website to save
floats/vectors, single or array, to a file and read it...
