This .fli animation contains 80 frames ray-traced with the Persistance
of Vision Ray-Tracer, each in 320x200. It took quite a while of
experimentation to come with the right frame rate and input files. We wrote an
engine in QuickBasic 4.5 to write the input .DAT files for us, and then a batch
file to do the actual tracing. Each frame took from 5 to 8 minutes to compute
on my system, a 486/33. All 80 frames together took probably close to ten
hours. We then used DTA 1.7f (Dave's .TGA Animator) to assemble the .TGA 24bit
color files (which took up 15 megabytes, incidentally) into a 256 color .fli
animation. We recommend you use a .fli player which can load frames into
expanded memory, such as the latest Flick players, to avoid disk access during
playback. If you enjoyed this animation (or despised it, for that matter) feel
free to contact us.
