Thx i was thinking to do that...but with a 352 frames animation of a
sprite (32 headings)
it can be very much work...both for the rendered and the "filter" (ie me
:) )

Maybe they (autors) will think of this feature in next version...i
hope...for games sake

btw, what is p.general ? 
(i assume is povray.general newsgoup ...but i dont see it on my
threads... )

Thx anyway...
