TITLE: Walking Bug NAME: Doug Partridge COUNTRY: Australia EMAIL: dpartrid@lawson.appcomp.utas.edu.au WEBPAGE: http://www.comp.utas.edu.au/students/dpartrid TOPIC: Transportation COPYRIGHT: I SUBMIT TO THE STANDARD RAYTRACING COMPETITION COPYRIGHT. MPGFILE: bug2.mpg ZIPFILE: bug2.zip RENDERER USED: POV-Ray 3.0x TOOLS USED: POV-Ray for Windows 95, cmpeg, GIMP CREATION TIME: design days and days, render about 1h 20m, encode about 1h HARDWARE USED: Intel Pentium 166MMX, 24Mb RAM ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: This animation is of a bug walking over a checkered plane. Pretty simple. There are heaps of things I wanted to try and put into this animation but I kind of ran out of time. Also I changed operating systems during the course of making it which kind of halted progress on it. This explains why I used the GIMP (just for the jpg). VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: The animation is very short and is designed to be looped. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: The animation was just typed straight out into the POV editor for windows. It was created with a single POV file which used the internal POV animation loop. I find this is the easiest (only) way to make animations and I admire anyone who can do more than that, especially using the same sort of basic tools I have access to and use.
