Cool! Looks very neat. I'm not quite clear on how you're planning to
|
|
handle animations. Will your Python script spit out a different
|
|
POV-Ray script for each time point? Or will it spit out a whole series
|
|
of them? Some things, like flocking behavior, are really hard to
|
|
implement in a clock-independent way.
|
|
|
|
Also, I see matrix transforms are on your to-do list. I suggest you
|
|
use the Numeric module. Use dot(m1,m2) or dot(m1,v) to combine
|
|
matrices or apply a transformation matrix to a vector, respectively.
