Just an idea:  It would be really cool if at the end, hold the final frame
for a while (3 seconds or so), and show the reel of film turning, like it
was playing the movie.

I had the same idea, that's what I've done now.

Also it looks superior at 640x480!!!

It's actually perfectly correct, but it looks wrong because of perspective.
Maybe I'll change it a little.

Is that downloadable somewhere?

Not yet, it's only compiled to Smacker and I don't have an MPEG encoder to
go up to that resolution, anyone know where a good one is?

I'll have to re-render anyway, because I've made a lot of changes to the
animation.

Also, I'll be willing to be a render farmer, I've got a PII 233Mhz with 32Mb
or RAM (soon to become 160Mb when I get MAX, 'bout 4 weeks).

After a few months I may be able to get an array of PII 266Mhz for use!

It sounds just like a video or movie opening/closing bumper to me.
Perfect.

It sounded decent through an Ensoniq AudioPCI card. Even better with the
8 meg waveset.

The best thing there would be to borrow a MIDI module from a musician
friend of good quality (Ensoniq, Yamaha, Oberheim, etc) and tell your PC
to play the file through the external MIDI port. Record the sound made
from that, possibly through your PC's audio input.

I could sample a WAV file from the MIDI playback if desired.

Actually I'm going to be using a midi "rendering" tool that uses *huge*
live instrument sample files to render a wav file from the MIDI to give
"live-performance" quality.  It's not a real-time synth, but an "off-line"
renderer.  But the quality is much better than any sound card, and
noticably better than any of my hardware synths.

AVI2MPG1 is a nice freebie for DOS.

Hi,

We develop a new, free and portable animation system for povray to make
a film of any type of POV-Ray scene. 
Therefor we want to create a powerful scripting language that lets you
choose the parameters you like to determine.
Our whole system is called AniTMT and is also capable to distribute the
rendering over networks.
You can get the first alpha versions at:
http://www.theofel.de/anitmt

We appreciate any kind of comment, especially before the 21st of March,
because this is the first day of the next round of a cometition we are
taking part with this program.
