Test scene for Inverse Kinematics in an animation. The bishop chess piece was translated along a spline. IK was then used to match the end of the robot arm with the chess piece as I stepped though the animation.

Search the POV-Ray news groups for vfpng. I've only been able to get the full zip file with a news reader, and not the web interface to the news group.

When opening TMPGEnc, if you get an error message, rename the 'CurrentCfg.tpr' file, and restart the program.
~For 'Video source:' browse to the first image in the sequence, example: Myscene0001.png
~For 'Stream type' select 'System', video or video+audio. Does not seem to matter if no audio is selected.
~For 'Output file name' browse to a folder to save and give a valid filename.
You can now select 'Start' and a mpeg-1 file is created.
Go to File/Preview to see the animation.
