Dear All,

I would like to  use Povray to draw old 35 mm films. Then I want to plot some
images in them. These films should be viewed from an angle, so the films go away
from the viewer, into future. I could not find a useful example how I can create
a shape.

I would appreciate it if you could give me some hints.

Best regards,

Guoping

Presuming you want the film to curl around a bit, I would recommend
using splines to define the basic contours of the film, and using a
scripted loop to create a mesh or a series of bicubic patches.

If a flat surface is enough, then you can use a thin box or a polygon 
that you create on the X-Y plane.
You apply your image to it using an image_map.
Finally, you tilt that away using rotate x*45, or any angle you may 
want. The angle is in degrees.

Dear Alain and clipka,

Thank you very much!

Here is my first try, but I do not understand why my middle polygons become
grey. For single, it is white. Very strange.
Do you have any idea why?

Coincident surfaces.

If you put translate -y/1000 (or as little as one hundred trillionths?) into
first polygon where it says "scale and rotate as needed here" it will move
enough to separate the surfaces yet still be together.

Or... here's another way to go about making a film strip, curves away like you
asked about before. Requires you to replace testpic1-4 with your own images. And
this was just a quick hack, the curve isn't refined at all.

Dear omniverse,

Povray forever!!!

You solved it!!!

Yes, translate -y/1000.


Thank you so much!!!
