5 second animation, 30 fps, approx. 22 seconds per frame to render.
How do I make blinking lights?!

#declare Frequency = 10; // Blinks per clock unit.
#declare Ratio = 0.4; // How much of the time the lamps are on.
#declare LightOn = (mod(clock*Frequency,1)<Ratio);
light_source {<1,2,3>, color rgb 1*LightOn}

But if you're using Moray, then I have no idea.

Nice animation by the way!

Well, you cheated on the iris. Still nice though.

Cheated in what manner?  Only rotated each piece from a single point
instead of moving it in the appropriate curve while rotating?  I've
no idea the exact curve needed, nor how to translate it onto a sphere,
nor how to impliment that in Moray...

BtW, I noticed that the normal doesn't change position while the
pieces rotate, giving a somewhat disconcerting appearance.  How
would I fix THAT?

Rotate and translate the objects AFTER the normal was
applied (no idea how that is done in Moray though).

Hi Timothy R. Cook, you recently wrote in povray.binaries.animations:

Did you apply the material to the referenced object or the group? It
needs to be applied to the single object (Iris01). Then it
automatically stays fixed with the object, so that when you rotate it,
the texture goes with it (provided you have left the texture
coordinate at the default 'local' setting).

... damn ...

What a pity, that this kicks my box reproducable to a BSOD

Something must be wrong with my MPEG-decoder ...
I have this also with some other MPEG/AVIs ...

should I reinstall ? ... again ? ...

#if sin(clock/3)>0
    #declare bulbcolor = rgb 0
#else
    #declare bulbcolor = rgb<.8,.8,1>
#end


or, alternately,

#declare bulbcolor = rgb sin(clock/3);

The "/3" part may need to be tweaked to make the blinking slower or faster (frames per
blink wise)
the threshold of 0 in the first line makes it so the light will be on half the time
and off half the time, this is called a duty cycle of 50%.

if you to change the duty cycle, then vary the number from -1 to 1 like this;
#if sin(clock/3)>.8         <--mostly off, blinks on very briefly
#if sin(clock/3)>-.3         <--mostly on, blinks off briefly
