Here's another small test, before the main anim I'm planning.

I like this one Andy. I have been trying to get blocks to work but have been
having a few problems with the syntax. I suppose the problems are half the
fun though. I hopefully should be able to post something soon (if work
allows me to put the time in)
Look forward to seeing some more of this Sim Pov stuff

My cat is fascinated by this animation. She watched it several times with
great interest, she even put her front paws up on the keyboard so she could
stare at it really closely. She's never paid the slightest bit of attention
to the computer before.

This is all amaznig stuff. When I went to look at simpov, it looked like
too radical a change in the way I'm povving (dos-based or something, is it?)
that I decided it wasn't the right time for me.
It would be amazing to have a character made out of this physics-correct
foam. Sort of a gingerbread man or Gumby, with different forces acting on
legs & arms...

I'm always astonished there are people who feel unable to use a command
line program - i really don't understand it. Is it really much more
difficult to type a command than to click some bottoms and menus?.
And it's not a DOS program - just a console mode application.

This is what a friend of mine said: "No one uses command line any more
(talking of himself), that is out of fashion and it is too complicated. We
are in a new generation: GUI based apps."
He just thinks that command line is something from another world. And most
guys that avoid it, just think it is something from another world that
requires a lot of knowledge.
All the best
Fidel.

I know there are people who think this way (and i see it everyday when
people start panicking when they find themself in front of an X Terminal
with nothing but a xterm and being supposed to work... ;-)
Command line is a bit like using POV-Ray - there are a lot of people who
think that coding a 3D scene in a text editor is awfully old fashioned but
you can see everyday in these newsgroups and in the IRTC that this can be
an extremely efficient and productive technique.
I won't deny that a GUI application is easier to start with for an
intuitive, autodidactic approach of a newbie but this does not mean
command line apps are useless. In case of Sim-POV you won't have any
advantage in learning the new features from the GUI version (because it's
no different from the plain 3.5 GUI).

Povray is like using a GUI word processor (okay, perhaps to code HTML),
'cept you hit Render instead of Print. At the same time, I have more fun
hand-typing the code for a 300-component blob than I do using a mouse-based
bicubic patch modeller.
To this user, command-line programs speak of incompleteness,
user-unfriendliness, cliqueishness, technically-over-my-head-edness, etc.
The impression is that once something has all the bugs worked out of it and
had all the features added then they ice the cake by making it GUI.
I don't mean to insult those who made that wonderful program, but you sort
of started a side discussion of why folks shy away from command-line.

That is true. Even when I was at university, that used to happen a lot.

I always loved command line and I always used povray on a command line
basis, except on the mac where I use the povray environment. Sometimes I
still write programs in C++ using command line, even thought I have
projectbuilder. Sometimes it can be efficient and productive just like you
said.

I agree with you on this one as well.
All the best
Fidel.
