(please forgive my bad english)

I have found a very easy way to get animations with Moray 3.1

Edit your morai.ini file (it should be in your Moray for Windows
directory) and add the following lines at the end of the
[POv WinINI] .... [END] block:

;Initial_Frame=1
;Final_Frame=60
;Initial_Clock=0
;Final_Clock=1

;Cyclic_Animation=on
;Pause_when_Done=off

Now, if you want to animate an object, just open your .INI and .POV
files in POV-Ray, delete the ";" signs and put the "clock" where you
want.

For example, suppose that you have a simple cube in a file called
CUBE.MDL
First, render it, then load CUBE.INI and CUBE.POV in POV-Ray. Then
delete the ";" signs on the CUBE.INI file.
Suppose you want to animate the cube by moving it on the X axe, from 10
to 25, with 8 frames. You should change the info as follows:

Initial_Frame=1
Final_Frame=8
Initial_Clock=10
Final_Clock=25

Cyclic_Animation=on
Pause_when_Done=off

Finally, change the translation in the CUBE.POV file:

translate <clock, 0, 0>

That's it!!

I hope this helps all the newbies out there (and the people who don't
have the time to study the POV-Ray language).
Remember: you must render with POV-Ray using the .INI file (not the .POV
file!)
