TITLE: Prototype COUNTRY: USA WEBPAGE: http://www.giwersworld.org/artv/ & artii/ & artiii/ & artiv/ RENDERER USED: povray 3.6 TOOLS USED: gimp, mpeg2encode RENDER TIME: not much HARDWARE USED: P4 3000, 512M RAM, linux 2.6.18 kernel VIEWING: The usual highly recommended computer IMAGE DESCRIPTION: dancing without music, a bit like rap DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: GENERAL INFO: This is a prototype of a new model I have been playing with for some time. Dance was rather diffrent than my planned usage of it so I didn't work up a dance scenario but rather improved it for motions I never thought of when developing the model. Thus this is a test of the prototype. Please do not draw on these comments for your comments. This is just a demo of some of the non-standard things the model can do. Look for him in future animatiosn. At the moment nameless but Oscar is in the running. Yes, I know mpeg2 not mpeg1. However reading up on mpeg2 I find its creators consider mpeg1 a subset of it mpeg2 in that the former controls fewer paramaters but both have the same parameters. I have tested a dozen viewers and all have worked on both. If anyone has a viewer that does not see the animation please leave a comment with its name. And if you do have one that does not work, check its age and consider upgrading as the first step. All viewers since 1995 should be able to read both.
