  animations in POV (Message 1 to 6 of 6)

I have written a scene for POV, and I'd now like to make a (very ?) short
movie with it, as if someone were walking in this scene.
So, I guess I should setup a walking path, and then give several points of
view of the camera in order to render each image..

Is this the proper way to do it ?

Does it exist some software which could help me ? Or where I could simply
draw a path, and then this program would make a batch or anything else
automating the rendering of each scene by calculating each point of view ?

In a word, what could help me in rendering animations ?

Thanks for help !

Eric

I wish somebody would have helped me like that the first time I came here...
I had to learn the hard way: "reading the docs"...

I did read the docs. Learning about the clock, the phase, and so on and so
far.

The only question is 'does it exist somewhere some tools I would not have to
re-invent which could help me in programming a' walk path' or whatever else.

I appreciate your help or, at least, your caustic sense of humor, though I
did not expect this kind of answer...

Kindly,

  Eric, you might have a look at Chris Colefax's Include Files page:

http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/1434/

  I think he has an include file that can generate a spline path, or
something similiar.

Another page you might want to look up is:
http://www.dhc.net/~swallace/pg3.htm
	It has several animation include files for povray...
