testing a macro to subdivide triangles along two splines, with UV mapping.
(no smooth triangles where used)

Nice!  This could be very useful for the Internet Movie Project (www.imp.org)
who have been looking for such a system exactly like this for a new logo
animation.

Excellent work!

Lance.

thanks!.
is that project still alive? the "Latest News" on there site is from
December 30 2003...

I was actually going to use it for a logo:

update:

 -manipulating two splines in 3D was to hard (top and bottom ege of film),
  so now there is a single spline thrue the center of the film, and the top
  and bottom edges are calculated (spline must always be curved!)
 -using macro's. (i tryed making a user defined function that returns a
vector,
  but this dous not seem to be possible)
 -frame start/end is not longer linked to the control points of the spline,
  you can use any distance between control points, and set the frame size
  independently. (the frames are no longer counted, you will have to add
this
  in case you want to texture each frame differently)
 -using smooth_triangle, witch calculated normals, becouse the reflections
  looked bad, even with 20 parts/frame.
 -code cleanup.

going to try HDR lighting now...

if you thought that the above image looks bad, you are right!

camera right= image_width/image_height -> x*image_width/image_height
i could not find why some frames looked distorted, even after
automating frame start/end, i even moved the control points of
the spline, because the whole thing looked to narrow. then i drew
a reflective sphere, to test HDR, and... hm, that odd...
(source will be updated when i have added HDR)

sorry,
jaap.

final result using HDR sphere + radiosity.
I think the radiosity errors are the result of setting the ambient of the
HDR mapped sphere to 400. Are there any tutorials about using
HDR + radiosity?
