This "other way" you speak of intrigues me.

And here is one I did earlier for a similar occasion. ;)

There is no other way only MY way. :)

Seriously not really appropriate for what what I think jr wants to do.
Unless you wanted to put an emitting image/uv'd object, like a frame of 
a 3D butterfly animation, in the media.

I think you need to bump up the frame rate on that one.

f(frame rate) → ∞ as number of frames → 0

I can't do better than that. :)

nice.  the colour changes are good, difficult to tell whether change is solely
due to crossing a stave, even having split the mp4 into frames (I think they're
not).

never used 'bozo'.  have read the docs and still find it difficult to relate to
what we're seeing.  there's also a remark about a default colour_map which only
confused things (for me) further.

in a previous post you write "..define different functions based upon the
"space" the notes are traveling through".

that sounds a good idea.  how would that work?  have an object, which has the
user_defined {} construct and is not visible, travel across various function
"spaces"?  can this be discussed without descending into maths??  :-)


thanks + regards, jr.

They're not. The color changes are solely dependent upon the pattern defined in
the media functions.
Bozo is a sort of smoothly changing noise function, AFAIK.
http://www.f-lohmueller.de/pov_tut/tex/tex_755e.htm
I tried playing around with other functions, and I saw that a real problem with
trying to change colors using RGb is that you get a lot of --- washed out
gray/cyan type colors, which is why I wanted full saturation HSV

Use POV-Ray's drop-down insert menu, go to Patterns1 and then select bozo
I rendered a test box with the default bozo pigment (attached)

Yes, which is exactly what is going on in the animation - though as you point
out, the execution kinda sucks.

I'll render another quick animation to see if I can better illustrate it.

So, it was good that I revisited this, as there were some corrections I needed
to do, and the bozo pattern was pretty bad at showing what I wanted.

Here's an animation of a rolling sphere - the sphere travels through a long box,
and the coloration of the intersection of the sphere and box is determined by
the r, g, and b values calculated from the values of the agate pattern at each
point and converted to a [correct] HSV spectrum.

I hope you like it, and if you provide more of a description of what you're
envisioning, that would make implementing it much more straightforward.  :)

(this is at 15 frames / sec - I can do it at 5 as well, but this looks much
smoother)

Back to work tomorrow   :(   but the heat has broken (for now) and hopefully the
rest of the week goes smoothly.
Hope everything is going well for you IRL.

Here's the static box that the sphere travels through to show the full agate
pattern that the sphere translates through.

I hope that visually explains it a lot better.



I need to look back at what I did with crackle and wood to see how to define the
color map for some of the patterns, since I think I need to do the same thing
with bozo since it has a default color map.

Not a criticism but an observation.
What the animation looks like to me. Is that the sphere's media is in 
"world space*" as opposed to "object space". There is no indication of 
the sphere rolling.

My vision of what is required would be better shown using regular 
patterns rather than random-ish ones.
Consider a sphere with a media based on a spiral density pattern rolling 
through the box with a horizontal colour gradient. The resultant image 
would be additive or subtractive.
My best guess from your description. It looks like you are doing it the 
hard way. :)


*
"world space" & "object space" were terms used by Moray. In object space 
the material moves with the object.

oh, very much.  it looks very attractive.  it is an entirely different process
than the one I've in mind, the result however .. very nice.

the planned animation (notes travelling along staves, revealing hidden object as
they move "across") has been somewhat on hold these past few days because I'm
working to get 'df3 tools 0.4.0' ready for release.  priorities :-)

I'm hoping to get back to "playing" before this week is out.

snowed under?!  :-)

anyway, thank you also for the image showing the whole path of the sphere --
useful.


regards, jr.
