POVRay Sample Usage of Video Clips

An Idea I came across when very tired one evening - use povray image_maps to render video inside my scene. Not sur eif this is a VERY old idea that everyone knows but doesn't use or something new. Sorry for the boring animation - was in a hurry.

The video clip is from Apollo 13 (The same clip that ships with Vista)

Thanks very much - I appreciate it

@YTBasiclife You must know programming or the language of POV-Ray to be able to work with it? I meen you don't only click some buttons, but work only with text?

@Gyperboloid That#s correct - you need to write SDL (Scene description language). It's very easy for any developer to pick up and most non-developers could get the basics very quickly by using the documentation

it would be awesome to have some reflective objects, then u could see your video being reflected on things, but that would take for ever to render

[YTBasiclife]

(wow - slow response sorry) but that's a fantastic idea - I think I'm going to have a go at it. I don't have the original scene any more so will start from scratch but I'll post it when it's done

@YTBasiclife Huh, thanks for the reply xD

[TheUnnamedGent]

[YTBasiclife]

You're welcome and I look forward to seeing your scene.
