MPGFILE: 25_03.mpg ZIPFILE: 25_03.zip RENDERER USED: povray 2 TOOLS USED: gcc CREATION TIME: 1 week HARDWARE USED: alpha 300 ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: There is a sphere which becomes a cube while rotating. The sphere is made of a lot of little triangles which expand in order to fit the cube. VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: Soft mpeg player on pentium 133 or more. Hard mpeg card if less than pentium 133. I personnaly use Vmpeg on a pentium 133 and a reel magik mpeg card on a DX4 100. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: There is no blob, everything was calculated by a little preprocessor I wrote in C which produces POV scripts for each image. There are 400 images in 320 x 200 pixels.
