Hi Folks,

Thanks to several kind newsgroup people who helped render this animation,
it's finished (three and a half months ahead of schedule!)

Here are links to two versions, a 640x480 mpeg and a 320x240 mpeg:
http://home.mindspring.com/~grasshoppah/mars/Mars320.mpg
http://home.mindspring.com/~grasshoppah/mars/Mars640.mpg
If anyone is interested in the full-size (800x600) version, let me know and
I'll post that too.

Thank you very much to these generous people who helped render:
Tim Nikias (Also optimized source code and solved slow render problem)
Bruno Gimeno
Remco de Korte
Daan Sprünken
Buke
Bob Hughes

Regards,
-Dave Blandston

That looks great!
I was hoping for some sound-effects to go with it :) Maybe some
early-scifi-days tune?

Thank *you* Dave! It looks like fine stuff. Sure is difficult to believe
that still took so long to create though.

I spoke too soon... It should loop nicely the way you cycled the animation,
I guess, and yet MS Media Player catches on the repeat. :-(

run this as a desktop :)

I guess I'll be interested. I've got a speedy
computer and a flatrate, so... Oh, and
I've got at least 50 GB free space, so
lets get to the "original" stuff... :-)

Regards,
Tim

renderfarm next week and we can use all the help we can get.

Uhh, I watched this thing for a minute or so and after closing 
MediaPlayer the whole desktop seems to come out of the monitor. Weird 
optical illusion :-)

But in spite of this: great animation....

Yeah, that's pretty annoying. It's not the animation, though - I promise! To
make sure, I made an animation that was twice as long by compiling all the
frames twice, and the transition is perfect. It's Bill Gates' fault!!!

Try "AVI Screensaver"
http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-2409-1486219.html?tag=list
It looks good in full-screen mode, in my humble opinion.

That's realy nice but ... if you slow down animation to real time (one earth
cycle in 24 h) then you will see probably the slowest UFOs in the galaxy ;-)
