AniTMT

AniTMT is developed by The AniTMT Team. This is the SourceForge.net homepage of AniTMT. The latest news and update of the project can be found here.
Feel free to visit the original homepage www.anitmt.org if you are interested in the old version of AniTMT, their authors and the prices it won. You can also download the old version of AniTMT there. Note however, that the new version which has been written from scratch the last 2 years, is MUCH better so that you should not go for the old one...

• anitmt-calc is the main animation calculator. It reads in an animation description (.adl file) in which you define the movements of objects, changes of variables with time and the like. Then, the actual scene description is read in (currently, only POVRay (see www.povray.org) is supported but support for other renderers can be added) and a scene file for each frame of the film is generated.
  
  
• RendView can be used to actually have a film rendered. RendView has a nice job control which allows you to specify the number of parallel processes to launch (useful for multiprocessor systems), rendering only a subset of frames, skipping unmodified frames (checking modification time), etc. It has a modular design which allows for easy extension of task sources (e.g. to get tasks to render over the network).
  
  
• mkavi is a very simple application to make an uncompressed avi file from ppm files. It can for example be used to convert POVRay-generated ppm files to an uncompressed avi file which is then later encoded to MPEG or DivX.
