EMAIL:lrwii@joplin.com NAME:Freno TOPIC:Adventure COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. TITLE: Free Knight Out! COUNTRY: USA RENDERER USED: POV RC6 Win TOOLS USED: Cmpeg & Cmpeg6 & Qbasic I started to use Cmpeg6(a front end for Cmpeg by Sander Stols ) to make the Mpeg but the list editor didn't function very well, but I could still use it to preview a my scenes. I made a couple of qbasic programs to one create the list file and one to run Cmpeg. CREATION TIME: Render Time >20 HOURS (I lost track) HARDWARE USED: 1.2ghz Athlon VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: I viewed this on Xing and what ever came with Win98 with no problem. The screen resolution is 320*200. ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: At a Grand Master Chess tournament as the crowd goes wild, a player reaches to make probably his next to last move when he sends a knight on a small adventure. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: This is my first entry and the first time that I've made a MPEG this long. When I first started I tried to make one master POV file to run the times and frames for each Scene. I use scene to mean a stage and background and camera location.( I hope I've got the terminology right) Any way after around 7 Scenes I dropped the master file and made individual POV files for each. I wound up with 20.The POV files where name Scene(number).pov and At the top of each I put the frame length and the name of the TGA files in comments. The TGA files where named in alphabetical order in sync with the scene number.(Like: Aone,Bfall,Ctun,...) The zip file has all the pov files I used but not the image maps. I also included a text file (Frenoinfo.txt) that list all the scenes with their frames,times and a short description. -- Have Fun!
