This very short animation was made using POV-Ray. Be sure to watch in HD.

I tried using POV-Ray 20 years ago, but didn't have a powerful enough computer to do much with it.
From what I remember it was just stills then.
That looks really impressive.
Can you give us a bit more info regarding what was actually involved in creating the animation, please?
(Hardware details, programming, etc)

Hi Ash, I used POV-Ray to generate 200 png image files. This took 2.5 hours on a HP 4400 dual core 1.86 GHz workstation with 2 GB of ram. I then used VirtualDub to combine the image files into an avi file using Microsoft video 1 compression.
