Yes, I _know_ they're not lined up exactly straight.  Have you ever tried to
park one of these things?


This is a test render of a model I converted using PoseRay (awesome
program).  I got the model, expertly crafted in .3ds by Brad Blackburn,
from SCIFI 3D (http://www.theforce.net/scifi3d).

I imported it into POV-Ray as individual sections (feet, legs & joints,
neck, head, and cannons) so I can articulate it.  Eventually I'll build a
walking model, but I've got to get the inverse kinematics for a quadruped
figured out first!

I'd love to post the converted model, but unfortunately, it's 45MB zipped!

Mike

Nah, wouldn't try.

VERY well done - certainly looks ominous and illustrates the overwhelming
military power of the Empire. Nice, threatening feel to it!

They are not Rebels, they are terrorists, dont ever forget what happened to 
Endor after the remains of the planet-size ship fell into the gravity well. 
Remember the continents of fire, remember the disaster.

What good would it do to instance 0 rebels?  Wouldn't 1e12 be much more 
useful? ;)

PS If you don't get it, look closely at your code...






PPS If you still don't get it, look at the #while loop...

Well, that's all right, the ewoks live on the MOON of Endor. As long as the
Death Star's mortal remains missed that, everything's cool... ;-)
