[PLUG] povray animations?

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

Has anyone done any animations with povray?

I just want to set up a scene and then pan by it.

    camera {
        location  <4, 4, -4 + 24*thisclockvalue>
        look_at   <0, 0, 6>
    }

I tried wrapping this in

    union {
        #declare thisclockvalue=0;
        #while (thisclockvalue<1)
	    #include "anim-sphere.pov"
            #declare thisclockvalue = thisclockvalue + 1/16
        #end
    }

This doesn't work at all, it's not even syntactically correct.

Anyone know anything about this?  I've been googling for an animation
that works, but haven't found one that I can run myself yet.
