Hello everyone,

I'm looking for meshes, whatever related to Battlestar Galactica that I can
use on POV-Ray 3.5.

Can anyone help?

Don't have the Galactica, but have the Agro-ships (reused from Silent 
Running.)  Picture at
<www.geocities.com/meteoricshipyards>

Which leads me to a question.
I created some animations (320x240x500 frames, created using cmpeg). 
Cmpeg ran fine and gave no errors, but when I view the animations, they 
play and never finish.  That is, using Microsoft Media player or 
Quicktime viewer, the MPG movie is displayed, but when it reaches the 
end of the movie, even though I have it set to repeat, it doesn't.  The 
slide doesn't move on media player, and you can't restart (in either 
player) after a pause.  They show the movie still playing (by displaying 
the "stop" rather than the "play" icon) after it finishes, and the stop 
button is ignored.  To replay the movie you have to select the file again.

The movies were >8 and >10Meg, so I'm wondering if cmpeg might have a 
problem with the size (although I recently got a memory allocation error 
from it when I tried to create a movie with too many frames).
On the smaller movie, I eliminated about 1/6th of the frames, and it 
created fine (just looks jerky).

Has anyone encountered anything like this?
