In the interests of the LPV (not LPF?) and those who may not be familiar 
with the short code competition,
round 5 is posted at 
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling_rendering/scc5/
This year it is a 100 frame animation with a 512 byte max.
Entrants will vote on the 'craft' of the animation.

A Chris Colefax animation primer is available at 
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/2006/xani.htm

Reading past entries is quite instructive - TEK has been particularly 
generous in sharing his techniques. e.g.
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling_rendering/scc3/final/swokwz_l.pov
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/modelling_rendering/scc4/final/l_nfzrtu.pov
and on this NG.

Also "Tips for Short Code Contest" was posted by Mike Kost in p.g 12 Oct 
2006

I still use Agustin Molina's 'Few code, many objects contest' submission in 
this NG as my 1680 x 1050 wallpaper.
