Re: How to make POV-Ray videos?
Here's another way to generate a camera-sweeping animation, don't know if this is any easier.
Modify glossy.inc (or whichever one you're using) so the camera definition at the top has a rotate definition, thus
#macro Camera( xpos, ypos, zpos, lookatx, lookaty, lookatz)
camera {
location <xpos,-ypos, zpos>
sky <0, 0, 1>
look_at <lookatx, -lookaty, lookatz>
rotate <0,0,-360*(clock)>
}
light_source { <xpos, -ypos, 3> rgb <1,1,1> }
#end
Then put the INI file in the raytrace folder then open the INI in POVray, it'll render a 30-frame sweeping camera animation as a series of BMPs. You can change the values in the INI to have more frames, and mess around with putting the "clock" variable in different places for various camera sweeps.
