I originally uploaded the file to Geocities but since that had joined 
the Choir Celestial I will tidy up the scene and upload it to the 
Bishop3D site and post the link. Bishop3D is not free (I believe it 
costs 50 Euros) but you can download an evaluation copy. IIRC it will 
only save scenes with 20 objects so you will not be able to modify the 
scene and save it as it has > 600 objects.

My pleasure. :-)

Hi Stephen

That looks great!

Yes, please, I would like to see your Bishop3D thing, as this is way too
advanced for me at the moment.

Your short animation is exactly the kind of thing I would like to do!

Many thanks

Tops

Ps. Sorry if this message appears three times, but I tried to post something
similar this morning and again just now but it doesn't appear to have worked! (I
think it's because I replied to your individual message and not my thread, but I
don't know)

If you are using the web interface then it takes a little time to appear.

Hi Stephen

This is great, thanks so much for the time you've spent on this.

However, is there any way to do this animation solely in POVRAY as I have
absolutely no idea how to use Bishop3D and really don't have the time to learn a
new program.

Many thanks again

Tops

My pleasure and it was an old file.

What you want to do is not trivial. I thought that if you could see how 
I did it it would give you some ideas.

Hi,

A set of macros exist which may help you. Check out this page:

http://mops.pagesperso-orange.fr/atelier05.html

I've used the givebelt macro a couple of times, and it works very 
well... plus you can animate it. I hope this helps~
