Hi there!

I'm trying to creat a filmstrip, runing through the image in various ways.
Doing so, I'm using a few bicubic patches for setting up the basic strip.
Afterwards, I'd like to apply an image map for creating the typical,
pictured look of a filmstrip. However, the rendering of the image map does
not follow the path of the film strip (map_type 0). Now, the question is:
how can I apply the image map for a realistic look of the film strip?
OR: is there even a better way to creat a filmstrip, at all?

Thanks for any hints.
Heiner

Heiner,

you're on the right track with using bicubic patches. You will need uv
mapping - check out the uv_mapping keyword in the manual.

Thanx Peter!

Works fine. I even scrolled down in the povray help and found the uv_vectors
for finetuning the map. I must admit, sometimes it is pretty hard to find
some information in the help.

Greetings
Heiner

That's why you should read it all first. Maybe print it out or
something.

Seriously, when you've gone through it, you'll have a vague idea
what's possible and what's not - and then you'll know what to search
for. You don't have to memorize the whole syntax - heck, I've been
using POV since 2.0 and still consult the manual all the time when I
code a scene :)
