http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~cgj20/chris-j/forum/photos/football_no_more.gif
(1MB animated gif)
Rather unremarkable - I thought I'd better post something though, as I've
been lurking for ages.
Things to notice:
1) Cog generating macro with correct aligment and rotation.
2) Both motion- and focal-blur
It'd be fun to make a much larger wierd machine like this I think - a bit
like something out of the IRTC "Unnecessarily complicated machines" round,
including ball-rolling bits like "Batteries not included" (IRTC winner
April-July 1998)

Why is that a gif? It's so low res and still 1MB!
Anyway, nice motion blur, how did you do it? The animation seems too slow, I
dunno if that's cause it's a gif or just the way you intended, but it's very
jerky and things seem to move too slowly. I'd love to see a higher-res
higher-frame rate version of this.

P.S. Did I mention I don't like gifs?
P.P.S. (well, for animations like this anyway)

89 frames, 159*188, 256 colours probably reduced from 24 bits meaning
some dithering. Dithering compress very badly! Maybe each frame
uselessly have it's own palete...

Hi,
That's a funny animation with a message and well done. Seems like a working
device. Did you render twice or 3 times as many frames to obtain the
motionblur? That's the only method I know of, unless you're using
MegaPOV0.7.

Keep 'em coming. Nice to see what people are doing with POV! :-) A gif
animation is good for inclusion on a webpage, but for real video you can get
smaller files and larger resolution by using mpeg.
Regards,
Hugo

The motion blur is the brute-force method mentioned in another reply - just
rendering 4x as many frames as necesary and averaging.
I havent yet come across a decent animated gif player - its much slower in
IE than it should be given the frame rate specified in the file. I
originally made it as a gif for another reason and couldnt be bothered to
recompress it when I posted.
Unfortunately I got rid of the image maps after I rendered the image! So I
can't rerender it. Hopefully something similar but better will be coming in
due course.
