Ok, this is the first version. I'm not very happy with the head and there are a
few little things to edit.

Tomorrow I'll start to rig it.

The cool tings are that about 270 geometries are imported, while there are about
2800 objects in the scene. That means, over 90% of the geometry is reused. The
even better thing is that I'm using the "Persistence of objects" function from
Megapov 0.6. The effect is, that I'm loading the geometry (that takes more than
99% of the parsing time) just for the _first_ frame. Every frame coming after,
reuses the geometry and _no_ loading in the geometry any more!

The optimization is extreme!

I hope, that I cam make a good animation to make it a good project.
Holger :)

Ps.: All the best greeting and a big thanx for all people, who helped me, doing
this thing. Including the makers of PovRay and MegaPov as well!

Less boring perspective and a view little editings at the legs.

maybe the head is a tad small for that gorilla shape.

I didn't know about this function. A few months ago I made a similar
hack for 3.7 when I tried to render an animation of a large dataset.
A hack because I found that keeping the data around was much easier than
also releasing it cleanly at a later time ;) Basically I added a #static
keyword, which, when used instead of #declare, kept the variable in a
separate global symbol table which persisted across frames (and even
across multiple renders within one session under Windows).

Man this is cool! You should offer this for the version 4

I just started the rigging. Here is a picture, showing my desktop with 3DS-Max
and MegaPov 0.6 The lowest level in MAX, the highest in MegaPov.

Sooner ore later I'll write a Max Script instead of a Basic program. That would
it make possible to use G-Max (which is for free).

Actually, I'm looking for a free CAD Program, that cam export data to PovRay.
has anyone an idea?

Or a plugin for HeeksCAD maybe.

It becomes really impressive!
How about starting a new thread?

Ok this is the last post in this tread from me. I'll start an animation-tread
with this :)
