TITLE: Bugbot WEBPAGE: http://www.erols.com/vansickl/povray.htm COUNTRY: US of A RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.02 TOOLS USED: text editor, cmpeg, pencils, paper CREATION TIME: 12 hrs, 48 minutes on a P166 VIEWING RECOMMENDATION: This animation loops, so view it on repeat. ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: An animated robot walks across the ground. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: I took an old model and did the math to articulate the joints so that they followed the path of the feet. The ground uses a normal_map and the repeat warp in order to have the granite pattern appear to repeat at regular intervals. I would have used a tiled floor, but everyone's tired of that, I'm sure, and the surface I used made for a smaller .MPG file.
