Re: POV-ray Tutorial
SKELETONMAN:
ok you want to make a shiny video...
hmm...
so press CTRL + F7 to start recording your frames
and once you are done they will be saved in animation.pov
depending on how many frames you have the file should be anywhere from 10kbs to 10MBs
if you open it in POV-ray
there should be about 100 thousand lines and climbing of data coming from each frame...
and you said you wanted to make it shiny correct?
so at the top of your animation you are going to type in
or
#include "glossylighting.inc"
this should make shiny frames
so now you have hundereds upon hundereds of frames exported to the raytrace directory of the TORIBASH folder where your animation.pov file is...
so you need to put those BMP files into a video or into an animation
i suggest using Virtualdub for an .avi file or your video
you can get this at
www.sourceforge.net just search virtual dub
or GIMP or Macromedia Fireworks for animated GIF files
you can also get GIMP from sourceforge..
but you have to buy Fireworks
I hope this helped you out skeletonman
