I've been fooling with this for awhile now.

I have to admit straight up front that I've never tried to hand-create an
animation for POV-ray, but I would like to be able to fool with animations.
Problem is, I can't find anything in Moray that has to do with clock
settings, etc, and there doesn't seem to be anything in the help file on
animation.

So am I barking up the wrong tree, or is there actually a way to use Moray
to set up an animated scene file??

Any help appreciated.  Example scenes / MDLs would be excellent, if anyone
has any.  I can learn allot from dissection.

Thanks

Woof<g>. Yes, you are barking up the wrong tree, Moray currently does
not support animation. However, we are working together with another
author to bring keyframe animation to Moray later this year.

Thanks.  I'll get back to mastering stills for the time being, then, and
worry more about animations later on down the line.  Looking forward to
it.

Any animations I do any time soon will probably be implemented as web
GIFs, anyway, so I could get around it with manual manipulation to
simulate the frames.

Now, now, you should know better than that<g>. We haven't decided on
when and how much. I think there will be an interim maintenance
release later this year. That's all I can say.

Lutz,

Thanks for the head's up.  Your honesty in projecting release dates never ceases
to amaze me.  Ever thought about buying out Micro$oft <grin> ?  Maybe they'd stop
announcing vaporware then! (Announcing Windows 2000 - available second quarter
2001!)

Windows 2000 in 2001? They must have hired a couple million more employees...seems to
me that the odds are it'll be out just around the time the earth starts spiralling
into the sun...as with everything they release.
