Overview

This tutorial explains my methods for creating LDRAW animations using POVRAY. POVRAY can be a very complex program to use, especially when you want to do animations in it. I’ve found that it is easier to create animations if you break it into a two step process. The first part is to create models that are easy to pose and are separate from the main POVRAY file. The second part is to animate it. Creating this model will be the focus of this tutorial. Animating the model will be the focus of the next tutorial. The models created here don’t have to be used for animations. They can also be used to create POVRAY static scenes. The ability to pose the models easily greatly helps this process.

This tutorial assumes basic knowledge of how to use MLCAD, L3P and POVRAY.
