How to make POV-Ray videos?
How can you make those? I looked around the forums but didn't find any kind of tutorial.

Re: How to make POV-Ray videos?
At the moment you can't just press a button in Toribash and do something in pov-ray and it's magically a pov-ray video.
The one you've seen of (nokturnal?) was done frame by frame by hampa.
don't unban, he has hard coded userid bypasses everywhere.

That's way too much work! I had hoped that maybe POV-Ray could convert .rpl-files or something. I hope making POV videos gets easier in the future.

Re: How to make POV-Ray videos?
I did the same on a paused frame (spun around matrix-style). It does work, but can take a while. The only thing I can recommend is not to put the frames together in The GIMP - you will be working for some time.

I have seen some references to animation within POV-Ray and I am looking into an easier way to do videos.

I had shell script that made the film, so it wasn't that much manual work. It took many hours to render it though.

nice and brutal

What program did you use to stich the images together with?

edit:
I found www.virtualdub.org which opened a sequence of bitmaps.
