My Dog Sphot




I'm really getting off on making animations. I've realized that i'm going to need a stable of posable POV-Ray critters and people to use. Sphot is my first one.
I called him Sphot because he is made entirely of spheres. His inspiration comes from a May/June 1987 AmigaWorld article about early raytracing by Eric Graham. That article really inspired me then. (I think that's why i use green checkered floors all of the time)


Here's a couple of short movies featuring Sphot testing his motion routines. The head moves great and i love his snoring, but i'm not happy with the legs' motion.
Both movies are 1.5MB and 22 seconds long. They are basically the same; one has debug numbers printed on it, the other doesn't.
