I have thought about some of these things too. I might have a framerate
problem if I tried to render the animation in real time. There is no fps
option in povray as well, so I wouldn't know the user's desired
framerate. I think definitely that each frame should be rendered and
written to a file. I'm not sure about real time previewing. There is also
the matter of how to get the frame from opengl to a file. I know some
libraries support offscreen rendering, but that again would be platform
dependent. Ah well. Maybe I should play with opengl and get comfortable
with it for a few weeks first.
