Worked out just fine.. I rendered a ( tried to ) 60 frame animation of the
dreamflash when i left... Got tired of waiting at 41st frame looks good had to
change the normal on the wall to crackle and scale it to 50 but w/ sum un
commenting it renders good in Official...
Would you explain the vnormalize , vrotate , ext...
I looked it up in pov.doc but it did not help too much...

Thanks for the code... Oh yea what is car.inc...?

If you ever finish rendering it, I'd like to see it.

I use them to play with sky/right/camera location/look_at vectors.
Vnormalize lets me change the camera position but always stay the same
distance from the look_at point, whilst I use vrotate to rotate the camera
by changing where the sky is.

A mistake ;-) when I start a new scene I copy the camera and global sections
from the last scene and sometimes extra lines slip through. (I've since gone
over to using a template file which avoids this problem.) You can delete the
car.inc line without changing the final output (that would explain why it
takes longer to parse than expected on my machine :-)

As with most of POVs features I find it is better just to play with them and
see what happens. (That's where a lot my abstracts come from, not planned
but accidents :-)

Maybe Ken can provide a link to a tutorial on the vector functions?

 I can't recall one off hand. It would be ok to ask about this
in the povray.advanced-users group. I am sure that someone would
take the time to explain them in reasonable detail. That is what
these groups are for after all :)
