Hi, all!
I have a code with a cylinder that tilt both sides like an inverted pendulum and
it is textured with rust iron.
The problem is that when it tilts, each picture has a diferent rust texture.
This is the texture used in the cylinder:
#declare Rust =
texture {
    pigment {
        granite
        color_map {
            [0.0 rgb <0.4, 0.3, 0.18>]
            [0.4 rgb <0.3, 0.0, 0.00>]
            [0.5 rgb <0.3, 0.2, 0.04>]
            [0.6 rgb <0.1, 0.1, 0.14>]
            [1.0 rgb <0.4, 0.3, 0.14>]
        }
    }
    finish { ambient 0.1 diffuse 0.3 }
}
cylinder{
    <0, 0, 0>, <0, 50, 0>, 1
    texture{Rust scale 10 finish{roughness 100 ambient 0.2 }
    rotate Ang*z // Ang = tilting degree
}
Question: Is there any code so the cylinder has the same texture in all frames?

Thanks in advanced for your help.

You have a missing bracket "}" to close the texture before the rotate I think.
So the texture is rotated and not the cylinder what seems to be your intent.

Hi! Michael.
Thanks for your help, but it was a problem of copy and paste, I missed the last
}.
Any way, povray should refuse to work if there is a lost }

cylinder{
    <0, 0, 0>, <0, 50, 0>, 1
    texture{Rust scale 10 finish{roughness 100 ambient 0.2 } }
    rotate Ang*z // Ang = tilting degree
}

Usually it does. But in some cases the placement of the brackets determines the
structure the transforms are to be applied. Textures can be transformed as well
as objects. So if you have a transform (like rotate, translate or scale or the
totally confusing matrix transforms) within a texture, it will be applied to the
texture and not to the object which the texture is to be applied.

In this case the rotation is applied to the object (the cylinder) and not to the
texture.

Actually, with the code you posted it would have complained

   "Parse Error: No matching } in 'cylinder', End of File found instead"

So you probably "fixed" it at the wrong place by adding a "}" later.

Hi! Michael.

I tried with various position of "rotate<x,y,z>" but it never seem to rotate my
Rust texture.

#declare MyRust =
    texture{ Rust
        normal { agate 1.5 scale 0.25 }
        finish { phong 0.1  }
        scale 0.1
    }

#declare Mastil =
    union{
        cone {
            <0, 0, 0>, radio_inferior_mastil   // Centro y radio inferior.
            <0, 320, 0>, radio_superior_mastil    // Centro y radio superior.
            open
        }
        cylinder{ // Lower end closer.
            <0, -.5, 0>, <0, .5, 0>, radio_inferior_mastil
        }
    }

Test 1
object{
    Mastil
    #local Ang_Mastil = -( ((ClockZ-Fase_2)*90)/(Fase_3-Fase_2) );
    rotate <0, 0, Ang_Mastil> // OK
    texture{ MyRust rotate <0, 0, Ang_Mastil> } // <<<<<< it seems not rotate.
}

Test 2
object{
    Mastil
    #local Ang_Mastil = -( ((ClockZ-Fase_2)*90)/(Fase_3-Fase_2) );
    texture{ MyRust } // <<<<<< it seems not rotate.
    rotate <0, 0, Ang_Mastil>
}


I upload a gif with the result at:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.animations/thread/%3Cweb.5253e42b5b3e3e64bbbff5b50@news.povray.org%3E/

There you can see how texture change each frame.

Regards.

I'm sorry, Michael, I don't understand you about:

"see your p.b.a for my idea what happens here."

I keep testing with rotate.

Regards.

Sorry,

I meant your p.b.a.-thread where you posted your animation.

Sometimes I'm stupid: p.b.a. = povray-binary-animation. We often use
abreviations like this for the different sections of the newsgroups. Other
examples p.b.i. (povray binary Images) p.o.t. (povray off Topic) and so on.
