hi Anon,
I have been very busy again this year working on making seamless's stitch code more robust but feel confident now that the downhill ride to completing seamless has begun and that I can now start working on a new vlog and a new tutorial to show the steps beginning with making an animated character, importing objects to create a scene, setting up a camera and how to export the animation to a movie file.
You don't need to ray trace your frames to make a movie using seamless but it's very easy to install and use Pov-Ray to ray trace the frames. There is no need to learn the pov-ray language to do this as seamless generates all of the files needed.
best wishes
