Mark, > I can't see POV-Ray on an Apple IIe, can you? (I guess that dates me > pretty well, eh?) When _I_ was in high shool, <g>, the latest thing in personal computers was the Altair. It used 8 rocker switches for input, and eight LEDs for output. It had very limited graphics capabilities. Although I must admit, the thrill I got in making those little LEDs "chase" themselves was not unlike the thrill I get today creating a photo-realistic raytracing. It all depends on your expectations, I guess <g>. > What exactly do you mean by oversampling in this case? Good question. I was confusing RTAG's splines with another method of splines I had played with. In RTAG, you _can_ calculate the spline at any point between the start and end-points, apparently. No problem. In a roller-coaster animation, ideally the velocity of the camera would depend on its altitude. Yours, Douglas Read action !
