Hi everybody,

I use the rotation illumination to create from a same scene different image
with the code:
rotate clock*360*x (to make a rotation around the x axis)

Now I also want to move the camera position (also in a circle).
My wish it is, for example, to define 5 camera position and for each of them
create 60 images by rotating the illumination. Is it possible to do that
automatically (without create 5 scene)?

How can I implement this in povray?

Thanks for your supports
Pierre

  The documentation is full of useful info for this. More specifically,
have a look at: http://povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/241/

  What you want to do can probably be done easiest with #switch/#range

Thanks Warp,
I already read this section and tried to implment my code with the function
#while:



  #declare Count=1;
  #while (Count<10)

camera {
      location <0, -3*cos(10*Count), -3*sin(Count*10)>
  look_at <0, 0, 0>
}

{
MY object
}

light_source {
  <0,0,-3>
  color White
  rotate clock*360*x
}

       # declare Count=Count+1;
        #end

But povray think there is many cameras on the same scene and just run for
the first camera position!
I am not really familiar with the computer programation and i don't know how
to solve this problem.

No, you don't want to create several cameras. What you want is to place
the camera in a location chosen depending on the 'clock' value. That's
where the #switch/#range kicks in.
