For animations, a simple but IMO nice camera-effect.

First "Cut & paste" the following files into the files:

   "scene0.pov" and "scene0.ini"

Of course without the limiters;-)  .Than render with the command:

   povray scene0.ini

the images for the animation. I'm using the .ppm-format, because on
LINUX/UNIX etc. the .ppm-format is  the most supported format for
making animations. But if you wish the default image-format, delete
the "P"-character after the switch: +F in the .ini-file.

After all images are rendered, create the video, with an encoder of
your  choice. If your are using the "ffmpeg"-encoder (LINUX) you can
create the video with this command:

ffmpeg  -bf 2 -an -g 300 -b 10000000 -i ./scene%4d.ppm scene0.mpg

and see what happens.  :-)

And all wich can't render the scene, can found the result in the
attachment.

Did you read the SDL-script, I had posted ?

If you did not understand this few lines, insert
the following line into the camera-object of one
of your own scenes



  normal{quilted 1}
