I've been working on a Stargate and one of the primary problems is the open wormhole. It's supposed to look like a water surface. The problem is it takes too long to render all that detail. I wanted to make an image sequence and then use that as a simple texture on a single polygon. The sequence had to be long enough that viewers can't notice the loop yet short enough that it doesn't take up too much disk space or too much time to render out.

OK, so I've never been very happy with the disk defragmenter that comes with Windows 2000 and XP. So, I wrote my own.
