Instructions: You need to click the picture to see the animation.
Set the screen size to fit 320X200 to see it turn the fastest.

I have not heard from anyone if this works or not on their machine.
Any comments appreciated.

I really, really need someone to see if this works on their machine, PLEASE!
Just click the picture, set it to fit 320X200, wait for it to download, and
watch it spin around. All comments welcome. Thanks, Rick

It works on my machine (Netscape Communicator 4.06 on SunOS), but the animation
is kind of jerky- it seems to take a bit longer to download the new frame than
is smooth, and I'm sitting behind several T3s.
Also, the station seems to be bouncing up and down a bit... gives a bit of a
carousel effect, actually.
So, yeah, the animation works, sort of.

Phew! Thanks a lot Eric! I was beginning to worry if it worked. Its only 7
pics so its jerky. Top was not fixed to base exactly so it wobbles a bit.
This was a first attempt. Need to redo with more frames with each as small as
possible. Thanks again for checking it out. Any other animations using
pictures out there?

It looks like it's dancing.
I've done a 3 minute stop-motion Super 8 film about an outpost that meets
aliens and a ancient alien artifact of great power. It's gotten a lot of
laughs from all the people I've showed it to. I hope to get it transferred
to a movie file of some kind. It would be pretty big.

Sorry for the multiple posts. My computer took a real long time the
first time and thought it hung-up (never got the confirmation
message), so I posted it again. I don't know why it was posted three
times. Again, sorry.

We did that in 8th grade with 8mm, think that was '84 - '85. But my friend
had this neon orange pencil which worked wonders as a laser. One or two
frames with it laid across from what was shooting to what was hitting and
it was great. The affect was amazing (and I still think it is) for simple
stop motion stuff we did. Still want to do that some day for fun. Most
Digital8s from Sony have a stop motion way. Just need to find the time
again.
We had attack of the blob or something like that, large ball of playdo,
minifigs, and various lego ships I had. Very fun.

Yeah, I´d love to make a film about my two classic space minifigs. i have
built a moon landscape and all so it could turn out really great.

Cool Space Station!!!
Works well on my machine, almost too well. Have to really watch for the
minifig and the docked craft, as they must be pulling 5 or 6 G's with the
rotational speed ;) Love the still pics the best as you can really see the
detail. A smoother animation would be better (and less rocky).
Excellent stuff, and I can't wait to see some more of your work!!

Pete, Thanks for checking out my animated space station. I thought
it almost went by unnoticed again. It could be smoother, but the
file would be twice as big. Also, the bigger you make the display
window, the slower it rotates.
Seems like most people here ignored it or cannot appreciate the
engineering/originality/creativity involved. This must be because it
does not look like anything they recognize. (It is NOT Star Wars, a
train, castle, cathedral, building, pirate ship, chess set or Queen
Imadogga.) Guess the "compartmentalized dorks" don't understand
non-orthogonal design. :) Just kidding. (Vent mode - OFF) Anyway,
I'm glad you noticed it, enjoyed it and took the time to comment on
it.

Hey Rick I liked it too, its just hard to respond to every ng posting and every
email. I a big fan of creating rotating images of models. I like being able
to see a model from many angles, sort of a catalogue of images, but put
together in a movie. I'm a big fan of those space stations you have put
togther and I voted for your site for CLSotW more than I legally should have.
I'm intereset in putting together a comprehensive listing of Lego related
animations, what do you think? Not anytime soon, I'm pretty bogged down as it
is.
BTW, I also have posted animations and cool rendering and recieved little
response sometimes. Don't be discouraged, ppl are busy disecting the new
catalogues or something.
Play well,
Pat J

Gosh, Rick, I'm sorry I didn't take the time to stroke your ego... <smile>
Actually, I enjoyed your space station animation the first time that you publicized
it, somewhat over a month ago. Back then I was "read-only" on LUGNET. Didn't you
also have some stills posted at some point? I would really like to see some detail
shots of this monster. Your GIF is shot from a considerable distance --
understandable, since you want to show the whole model.
As for not appreciating non-orthogonal design, I'm drafting a design for a Lego
Bussard ramjet...

I saw it, and I think I told you I liked it. But if you want to impress
people, you gotta make CAD-stuff, like my animations. People love ´em :-)
Here´s the link to them:
http://m1.876.telia.com/~u87609425/animations/index.html
Seriously, I don´t think people are impressed if you make a spinning cheese
with Windows paint, you have to use a CAD program ,then they love it.

Tobias, Yeah you where 1 of 2 people that saw it. I posted a thank
you. I have 2 questions: Can a CAD program make something as big as
my station? And can I do it on a Mac?

Hi John,
No need to stroke my ego. :) Just acknowledging you saw it is fine.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I see my response proding bait worked. :) No offense to anyone.
(BTW, I like the chess set and the Queen). I was in vent mode.
Check CLSotW for my site with still pics. Please send me the link to
your ramjet design when its done.

1. If you want to make your station, it will be very much and very hard
work, because it is *huge*. But smaller things, like a 50-parts spaceship,
works fine.
2. I´ve used the totally free raytracer POV-ray for theese animations. Since
I have a PC I also have got Ldraw, in which I build the models and then I
convert them to a povray file, and add some animation "stuff" to the file
and run it.
You could use Anton Raves POV-ray library for your models:
http://people.a2000.nl/araves/Main.html
Each brick is a small povray-file and you download it in a complete
zip-file. Anton is using a Mac, as well!
POV-ray can be downloaded from http://www.povray.org/
It will take some time for you to know the program, if you´ve never used it
before. It is a text-based renderer, so you´ll have to type in lights, the
location of your bricks etc.
Sorry for the long post, I think another good thing would be to ask in
lugnet.cad, since those guys do this things all the time ;-)
