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.
