Hi Rob,

Again, we need a FAQ for this.  In my original post, I had left out the  
-vo and -va options in the key.fmt file, which is why the whole thing  
didn't work.  See the following correction post:

Howdy,

I'm attempting my first walk-through animation..

  I've looked in the archive for advice and found this
http://www.radiance-online.org/pipermail/radiance-general/2002- 
November/000496.html

I have a key.vf file with several keyframes
rview -vtv -vp -64.7853 -33.2456 12 -vd 0.844167 0.500454 -0.192164 -vu  
0 0 1 -vh 50 -vv 50 -vo 0 -va 0 -vs 0 -vl 0
rview -vtv -vp -29.3975 3.41763 14 -vd 0.844167 0.500454 -0.192164 -vu  
0 0 1 -vh 50 -vv 50 -vo 0 -va 0 -vs 0 -vl 0 -t 4

   .... continued

  Notice I do not have a -t at then end of my first view - correct? or  
should it be -t 0 ?
By adding up the -t #'s at then end of each view, I have a total of 36  
seconds.

  I created a key.fmt file with this contents
rview -vtv -vp ${px} ${py} ${pz} -vd ${dx} ${dy} ${dz} -vu 0 0 1 -vh  
${vh} -vv ${vv} -vs 0 -vl 0 -t ${t}

  Then I type this command - (one line)
rcalc -i key.fmt -e  
'$1=recno;$2=px;$3=py;$4=pz;$5=dx;$6=dy;$7=dz;$8=vh;$9=vv;$10=t'  
lobby1.vf | tabfunc Px Py Pz Dx Dy Dz H V T > key.cal

My key.cal looks like this:
Px(x):select(1,);
  Py(x):select(1,);
  Pz(x):select(1,);
  Dx(x):select(1,);
  Dy(x):select(1,);
  Dz(x):select(1,);
  H(x):select(1,);
V(x):select(1,);
T(x):select(1,);

  Is that correct?
