checking for approvals/rejections/suggestions/requirements from the group
for initial splash.
dont intend to distribute but if requested I'd be obliged to send it along.
no help or sound until multiple libs issue is resovled by working example
as .gcc entry still errors.
# Standard linker flags ?path to libs?
# command line LDFLAGS=-lcomctl32 overides, linking correctly
# with libs in src root
LDFLAGS=-L /lib/
LIBS=-lcomctl32

I like this a lot. I think the composition is well balanced, especially the
range of colours. Not intentional maybe, but I think that the text adds
something special to the image, like if it were some kind of screen showing
data related to what is happening, or the final credits of a film.

I disapprove/ reject/ suggest against using an initial splash, regardless of the
quality of the image. It is a punishment inflicted upon the person coming to
your site and is probably advocated only by some third-rate design schools.

OVER RULED!
statement suggests a misunderstanding of the situation
and it is a requirement.

For what is this? Is the winged creatures going to get feet wet?
Stiff cone not fall like natural skirt.
Funny reflection of hidden sun placement in shape.
Moon illumination not right for sun location.

the skirt is very flexable, she was hovering and flying backwards enough to
inflate the skirt. lol

next task: add Paul's remaining cams
to 1st compilation
QUESTION
just what installation does this script require, see attached img.
and did I get the file right?
povdir\scripts\ ... right dir *.sh files?
Post_Frame_Command.sh
#!/bin/sh
# POV Post_Frame_Command script
#
# If using a sterescopic camera, make the anaglyph image from the left and
# right pairs. Do this whether or not an animation is being rendered.
# Requires ImageMagick's 'composite' command.
#
# Usage: From a povray .INI file:
#
# Post_Frame_Command="Post_Frame_Command.sh h=%h n=%n o='%o' s='%s' w=%w"
#
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
case "$1" in
[hnosw]=*)
var=`expr "$1" : '\(.\)=.*$' | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'`
val="`expr "$1" : '.=\(.*\)$'`"
eval $var=\"$val\"
;;
*)
echo Usage: $0 h=%h n=%n o=\'%o\' s=\'%s\' w=%w
exit 1
;;
esac
shift
done
sfx="`expr "$O" : '.*\.\(.*\)$'`"
case "${N}-${O}" in
0-${S}R.$sfx)
# Stereo, no animation
test -f "${S}L.$sfx" &&
composite -depth 8 -stereo "${S}R.$sfx" "${S}L.$sfx" "${S}A.$sfx"
;;
*-${S}R*.$sfx)
# Stereo, animation frame
digits=`expr "$O" : "${S}R\([0-9][0-9]*\)\."`
test -f "${S}L${digits}.$sfx" &&
composite -depth 8 -stereo "${S}R${digits}.$sfx" "${S}L${digits}.$sfx"
"${S}A${digits}.$sfx"
;;
esac
exit 0

Who is your audience? This image may appeal to the pimply-faced youth
crowd, but fails to give any impression to the quality of POV-Ray as a
renderer. Quite honestly the colors appear washed out, and the image
looks as if it was tossed together hastily, by simply adding a geometric
figure, and a winged poser model over a body of generic
silvery-looking water. And why is the image dithered? Are there still
systems that only support 256 color images?
A splash screen should be bright and interesting, give the user a good
first impression. This would only serve to drive me away and wonder what
happened to the "good old days" of POV-Ray.
I sincerely hope this is a joke, and if so .... I don't get it. What did
I miss?

I have no desire for an audience.

that was real, without being descriptive, nice of you to add that.

hastily, yes; And a requirement of the compilation and with respect to
contributors. You understand this concept of respect?
But, as a competitive icon, never!

It is 8-bit because that is what was found as a splash.

a challenge to keep with so many brilliant minds.
Quick start is misleading:
Once ImageMagick is installed, Select Start->Programs->Command Prompt. In
the Command Prompt window type
convert logo: logo.gif
imdisplay logo.gif
no way not without a path.
when you open a prompt only default path is set.
It is difficult to expect Post_Frame_Command.sh to fly on auto.
any pointers?
so it works.
but any ideas on the modules not closing?
C:\imagemagick>composite -depth 8 -stereo ionic6R.png ionic6L.png ionic6a.png
COMPOS~1.EXE: unable to close module `PNG': The operation completed successfully
..
..
COMPOS~1.EXE: unable to close module `RAW': The system cannot find the file spec
ified.
..

Whoa didnt expect PSP to report 16 million colors.
24-bit 16777215
why cant I forget that number
can only guess why "composite -depth 8" did not produce an 8-bit image,
(or 16-bit from the assignment of
ImageMagick-6.3.7-2-Q16-windows-dll.exe)
obviously much to get aquainted
