the latter, I guess, based on knowledge of object's approximate location +
dimensions.  hope to find time to try your code, but for a simple, recent
animation I needed to move the camera back to accommodate the object growing
larger.  have a look at the camera in 'ulam2.pov' (at end of file), its location
is updated in every frame.  while different in detail, perhaps it can serve as
"food for thought".  hth.
