- !PovAnim3
- ==============
- v 1.00 26/11/96
-
- This utility provides a Wimp front-end for the Lee Noar's port of
- the POVray3 executable, enabling the files making up an animation
- to be traced easily. It requires the POV files available from
-
- http://www.argonet.co.uk/users/leenoar or argonet ftp in
- /pub/Acorn/PD/graphics/POVRay3.zip
-
- and the Toolbox modules, also available from argonet ftp
-
-
- The source file should be dragged to the icon or window. The output
- format can be toggled between Targa and PPM, and the files will be
- stored in a directory in the same location as the source file.
-
- If the file uses the POV 'clock' variable, a sequence of files can
- be generated. The frame numbers used can be set. The default values of
- clock are 0 (for the first frame) to 1 (for the last frame), but these
- can be modified using the writeable icons.
- If the 'cyclic' option is ticked, the clock value varies so that there
- is smooth transiion form the final to intial frame.
-
- The Res menu option allows a choice of setting in the .ini.res file, and a
- 'none' option so that other values can be entered in the writeable
- 'extra parameters' icon. This is set up with useful defaults, any of which
- may be altered as desired. The deafults an be restored by entering ? in the icon
-
- Clicking on Create starts the trace, which is NOT multi-tasking. The trace
- can be stopped by pressing Escape.
