- This .fli animation contains 80 frames ray-traced with the Persistance
- of Vision Ray-Tracer, each in 320x200. It took quite a while of
- experimentation to come with the right frame rate and input files. We wrote an
- engine in QuickBasic 4.5 to write the input .DAT files for us, and then a batch
- file to do the actual tracing. Each frame took from 5 to 8 minutes to compute
- on my system, a 486/33. All 80 frames together took probably close to ten
- hours. We then used DTA 1.7f (Dave's .TGA Animator) to assemble the .TGA 24bit
- color files (which took up 15 megabytes, incidentally) into a 256 color .fli
- animation. We recommend you use a .fli player which can load frames into
- expanded memory, such as the latest Flick players, to avoid disk access during
- playback. If you enjoyed this animation (or despised it, for that matter) feel
- free to contact us.
