Hi;

This is my somewhat sparsely furnished apartment, or at least - a
virtual version. Modeled in 3D Home, textured/animated/rendered in Moray
using POV-Ray. It suffers quite hard from MPEG compression, but it had
to be done in order to keep the size down. Note: it was mostly a test of
the animation plugin, that's why I haven't put so much work on the
lightning/detailing/texturing.

Pass - definitely. The cubic interpolation works great for camera
animation. Ideas? I have lots of them...mostly in terms of interface
features, but some functional as well. I'll post in moray.win as soon as I
have managed to put my ideas on paper :)

Looks good to me.  Almost feel like a cop that's busting in and doing a quick
search for a hiding bank robbery suspect  :-)  but you never have the camera
check under the bed.
Sure wish I could get the keyframing in Moray to work this well.

I rendered at 24 fps within Moray, generating separate TGA images. Those were
compressed into AVI with Fast Movie Processor (Radius codec) and then
converted to mpeg with avi2mpg1 (at 15bytes/s). If I was more accustomed to
cmpeg I would have used it, as there is some quality loss in each step in the
current procedure (I guess).

What's 3D-Home?

Yes, but not the latest version (I believe there was an older version which was
incapable of long file names?). I will try it for my next version of the
apartment animation, when I'm not in a hurry to get it out the door ;-)

I believe that was the name of the program - '3d home' or '3d home architect'
or something like that; I used it on a friends computer during the christmas
holiday and exported a .dxf file which I brought home on a ZIP disk. It was
however very easy to model the apartment, just click & draw to make the walls
and lots of ready-made furniture to place in the drawing. If you want, I can
ask him what the exact name of the program was.
