Recording Animation at Curtin.
Curtin University of Technology Technical Report number 5 1990.
Abstract
This document is one of a series of technical reports describing the Computer Animation Negus
(CAN) Raytrace System.
The image generation of the Raytrace System is
described in
Image Generation using the Computer
Animation Negus Raytracing System by Marriott and
Dench.
The farming of the animation is described in
Farming Raytrace Animation at Curtin by Marriott.
This document details the way in which frames
produced in the Curtin Graphics environment can
be recorded onto 1" video tape. The individual
frames are compressed (run length encoded and
then temporally compressed), copied to a special
PC via ethernet and then transferred to the tape
frame at a time.
This document also details how "screen" can be
used to record animated frames via the Vista
board. It also gives examples of techniques that
can be used to produce complex animation with
minimal effort.
