Nifty! (and more than fit for public viewing)
It works quite well as is AND could serve as the basis for a variety of
interesting expansions and variations. Congrats.

Thanks! I have to admit I was thinking of doing lots of animations all 
starting/ending with the same sphere then mixing/matching them into a clip 
of some kind. Failing hat, maybe turning it into a convenient colour chart - 
If only I could get ti to render in realtime...

It's a heck of a lot nicer than any animation I've ever made. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when a co-worker nearly kills 
himself over losing an hour's worth of work after a computer crash, and 
you just calmly shrug your shoulders and say, "Is that all?"

Can't see the XVid, sorry...

A free alternative is Virtual Dub -- pretty bare bones, but it'll slap your
images together in an AVI.  For fancy editing, you're gonna have to shell
out a few bucks :/

Hi Dan,

Can I ask what OS/Player you're using? Just curious as I was under the 
(mistaken?) mimpression that XVid was fairly universal nowadays... Whenever 
I have tme, I'm going to Flash encode them (the way youTube do) then publish 
them that way - EVERYONE can get flash and it's actually a little easier oin 
bandwidth

I use TMPEGenc which I like. If you want to encode png files  you will need
to download an extra plugin.

A very nice first animation BTW.

Actually no. There's still _no_ 64-bit flash player for Linux available.

And the 32-bit version won't run in a 64-bit environment? I have to admit my
Linux knowledge is rusty so could be completely wrong but I was under the
impression that processes could be started in a 32-bit emulation mode?

The 32-bit version runs fine *if* you have a 32-bit browser (running 
under 32-bit emulation mode, of course). It doesn't work with 64-bit 
browsers.

Now, the *real* issue is that there's no Flash for Linux/PPC, 
Linux/Sparc, or Linux/anything-other-than-Intel-compatible-chips.

Install Linux on a pre-Intel Mac? No Flash for you.

Well, it can, if you have a 64/32 bit processors (like AMD), and a
wrapper for your browser to use 32 bits-plugins in 64 bit browser...
and time and knowledge to set this kind of environment. It's not
obvious.

No luke for Intel true 64 bits! Top of the line Itanium... well, no
flash!

Right! No flash if your not on a x86 compatible...

Right again!
Please stay away from closed-source encoding.
