The Laser Show
 |
I've got the idea to make a laser show with PoV-Ray in July 1997. It was when a new cinema was opened in my town. They perform a laser show before every film. When I saw such a show the first time I was so impressed that I couldn't resist to try it with PoV-Ray. The next month I tried to find the best way to make a laser ray with Pov and to find a suitable music. Since October 1997 I'm working on the animation and now in January 1998 it is ready for publishing.
Here are some technical datas:
| Development Time: | 3 month |
| Final rendering time: | 1 week (with breaks during the night, on a Pentium MMX 200Mhz) |
| Antialias: | Yes |
| Frame size: | 320 x 240 |
| Frame rate: | 25 fps and 12 fps |
| Number of frames: | 5420
with 25 fps 2601 with 12 fps |
| Duration: | 3 min 37 sec |
| Animation type: | MS
Video for Windows AVI (Cinepak codec) |
| Music: | "Attempt
To Break" by estrayk / capsule (found on Aminet as attempt.lha) |
| Tools used: | PoV-Ray

| File size: | 40
MB with 25 fps 27 MB with 12 fps |
Because of the file
size there's no possibility to download the files from
here. My last ressource was closed because I'm no longer
a student.
Can anybody provide me some disk space to store the files
???
The files are
laser1.zip (23MB, 25fps)
laser2.zip (17MB, 12fps)
