This describes the creation of an old avatar:

</Edit>

Ingredients:
AC3D, POVRay, Jasc Animation Shop and Visual Studio.

Workflow:
1. I made a simple AC3D model containing 2 texts "Per" and "Fnurt", which I exported to POVRay (.pov file)
2. In POVRay I put a condition on every triangle in the .pov file, like

#if (clock>1) triangle .... #end
#if (clock>2) triangle .... #end
#if (clock>3) triangle .... #end
...
Since there were some 6000+ triangles I automated creating the conditions by a making a VB macro in my texteditor (Visual Studio).

3. In POVRay I added a skysphere and a checkered plane and fiddeled a bit with textures, camera pos etc.
4. Then I told POVRay to generate a bunch of frames.
5. Finally I used Jasc Animation Shop to put the frames toghether in an animated .gif.
