Script of Ella's Spinning Coins

[Ella]

It's already a good start

I agree, Ella. Brian has come a long way with the script. Becoming a very skilled coder!

Map Object Box seems fussier and slower that the cylinder.
Map Object seems to only use one core of the processor,
so it could be much faster (but isn't).
Here are a couple of new tests.
They are ok, still have more to learn.

I call this a 'slap' (for lack of a real term if there is one)

It was a horizontal rotation, but too wide to post, so
rotated it to fit.

The viewpoint was modified to get this look.

[animicule]

Oops! Too wide. Online rotater for gif completed.
Doesn't look like a 'slap' anymore.

It seems it isn't an easy task

[animicule]

Easy enough, however, to make it the best possible I try to explore all options.
Learned to cut the image size to what seems very low to me, and also taking
much larger slices, which lowers the layer generation time to around 5 minutes
from over 1/2 hour. There are viewpoints, positions, and rotation for consideration.
Biggest factor is due to my mothers health at this time. Sister and I hope to
move her from the hospital to hospice for rehab tomorrow or Saturday...
Hopefully I will regain concentration then.

Brian, as we said before, family comes first. Worry about your script after you have taken care of your Mom. We can wait.

[Ella]

Animicule, take care of your dear mum. You only have one.
Gimp can wait.

Thank you!
Mother is in rehab facility now, and the
drugs from the hospital are wearing off.
Hopefully she will be able to return home
when the rehab is completed.

Here are a couple examples, getting a little closer to
finishing. Think I will just put up several small
scripts instead of one large do everything script.
(have the small ones done) then work on combining them.
Too many ideas.

[Ella]

Luckily your mother can recover now.

Very interesting examples! It still seems complicated.
Too many ideas can block the creativity sometimes
