DigiTape is a plug-in extension for POV-RAY v3.1. Using DigiTape, the motion
blur is created by averaging multiple frames. Currently, DigiTape is beta.
I'm
planning to add additional effects after this one works and is fully
verified.


DigiTape is neither supported nor endorsed by the POV-Team. For support or
comments, DO NOT contact the POV-Team. You can contact me at:

Any constructive criticism is appreciated. I am particularly interested in
hearing opinions on how to create an automated installation program for the
extension and other motion blur algorithms.

The motion blue effect is generated by summing four frames (the current plus
three previous ones) of an animation. Each frame has a programmable
multiplier
applied to it before the summation. After an entire frame is rendered, the
oldest frame is dropped and a new frame is added.

Is the source available?  For the automated install  read the registry key
at
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\POV-Ray\CurrentVersion\Windows\Home
to locate the directory that POV-Ray is installed into.  Then just modify
INI\pvengine.ini to add your plugin.  Maybe I am missing something.

Tom,

Thanks for your info. I'll give it a try.

Yes, I am planning to make the source available after I clean it up and add
the appropriate disclaimers.
