MPGFILE: ip_bulge.mpg ZIPFILE: ip_bulge.zip RENDERER USED: povray 3.02 TOOLS USED: RTAG v2.1 for generate the sequence of frames for the animation HARDWARE USED: for modelling AMD DX4/100 20MB RAM for rendering AMD K6/166 32MB RAM ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: This animation was created to show power of POVRAY (for my '3DS' friend). VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: This animation was created without using any modeller, it was written as a script only. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: For a long time, I occupied myself with the problem how to make something expanding from a flat plane, and I think the idea is very simple: the floor with bulged object form together one blob, which is a set of many cylinders and one sphere. A movement of the bulge is a translation of a sphere. When the object is expanding from the floor, some spheres are adding and translating up.
