6 sec in 512x384 ; 602 kB (Mpeg-4)

Currently I only had made macro for creating matrix-like text.

Small 01001110 texture is in 64 *.df3 files (it is animated).


All 144 frames was rendered in only 1.5 h on 2 Ghz with small AA.

Now I'm going to implement "falling" letters and better camera movment.

Btw. is there some good Win32 (and linux) utility that converts .bmp files, 
or .avi into mpeg-2 movie?

Nice work.

The most commonly used windows encoder is TMPGEnc, but unfortunately its not
available for linux yet.

Nice work I like it.

One suggestion, make the numbers a lot smaller so they do not become
apparant until the camera zooms right into the Matrix.
Also how many layers of numbers are there?  It looks to me like there are 2
layers (1 front 1 back).  Having multiple layers whould look very
interesting as you zoomed in, especially if you scaled the word along the Z
axis as you zoomed.

Just my thoughts.

Keep up the good work.

Dave.

I added second, smaller set of numbers. See image from ver 0.10 in 
.b.images

Strange - the first hit for me is http://www.tmpgenc.net/ which is the
correct URL. http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html is the English version of
the site, and http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_download.html is the download page
for the free version, though the site has frames, so its probably best to go
in by the "front entrance" so to speak.

AFAIR mpeg-2 encoding is free only for 30 day's of usage :(

-[AFAIR mpeg-2 encoding is free only for 30 day's of usage :(]-
Oh sorry, I didn't spot that.

I've just had a quick look around the net, and even fairly unethical sources
such as DVD ripping guides suggest TMPGENC as the cheapest option, so it
looks as though theres no free encoder about.

I'm still having problem with the attachment. I can only see the ascii file.

You should look for mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu) it's a very good 
player/encoder suite for linux. It can play and encode almost every kind 
of movie.

Yes, me too, but I've already seen The Matrix anyway ;)
