I'm not yet prepared to share those, however, until I know one way or the other whether my actual devices are going to work (sorry), but I thought I might at least show you a little bit of what can be done with the rendering software. ...plus it's helping me to learn how to use the program.
So, I whipped out a spoked wheel with weights around the rim to give a bit of an idea as to how my other animations look. The program renders the output based upon written descriptions in a text file. The wheel, then, is described as a torus of certain dimensions and the spokes are just thin cylinders and the weights spheres.
I ultimately may not end up with a working wheel, but by golly I plan to at least have a pretty animation!
I'll probably be showing some text and equations in the other, also, but this is the current lighting, camera angle and color scheme (all subject to change without notice). Do you think I should cut back on the flesh tones? Is it too sexy for this forum?
Anyway, you can click on the short video attachment if you want, and if you loop it in your video player, the wheel should keep turning.
Oh, and here's the link to the Povray website:
