I'm working on a simple animation of an object (protein molecule) rotating
about the y-axis.  I've included the following lines at the end of my .pov
file:

object {
    _Scene
        rotate <0,clock*360,0>
}

When I render, I get my rotated object but I also get the object in its
original orientation overlaid on top of the new orientation.  I don't want
to see the old orientation.  I tried just changing the rotation of the
camera but as the light source doesn't move around with it, the object is
dark on the far side so this doesn't produce a desired effect.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ryan

Sounds like you have the object _Scene declared twice. Once in the object
block for the rotation, and once in the original declaration( hence no
rotation). Check how many times _Scene appears in your script.

Perfect!
Seems I misread the instructions I was reading-inserting the extra lines at
the end of my file rather than just editing it to contain the rotation
information.  Thanks a lot.
