Animation?

I was watching the animated video clip for MF on Cedar point dot com, and the giant weel is in the video. Was the giant weel originally supposed to stay in the same spot, and not be moved, or was the tech so bad back in 1999, that they couldn't take it out while making this video?

^ Yes there was a glitch in all Linux based systems that did not let the creator of an animation to delete anything created in an artifical enviroment to be deleted if it currently was in place in real life.

^are you full of it?

He is indeed full of it.

While animation today like Mavericks are better than some you see on TV, the point of an animation in CP's case is to get the general idea of the ride and its location. Not to make a virtual ride, video game like, animation out of it.

Basically it wasn't worth the time and effort to get rid of Giant Wheel when it didn't affect the way MF was looked at in the animation.

Lucky for us, Keith over at VIP3D allows parks to get more advanced for a price that must be pretty good for how many parks choose his product.

Yes I am. I had a bad day at work, had too much to drink due to bad day at work and you seem to be just the guy to recive all the hassel I can hand out.

Sorry for any incovienence,

Management

your a real SMART ASS aren't you?

Thanks for not being an idiot gomez!

Yes and I have a very loose tounge tonight.

Where is that damn Rum?

Ahhh Captain Morgan Private Stock.... the spice of life.

Better than a dumb ass, I guess.

Gomez,
If the guy who did the animation didn't take the time to draw it in, it wouldn't have needed to be removed. I'm not sure why the extra cost would have lied in having an animation without it, as opposed to one that did have it.

David,
Can you just go ahead and slide a glass on over here. I need a little Captain tonight.

Captain?

Screw that, I'm making friends with Johnny Walker. :)

How about Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Jose Cuervo?

Just a few of my GOOD drinking buddies...

Did you get that from George Thorogood's "I Drink Alone", or did you make that up? Aside from Jose Cuervo, the other two are mentioned in the song, the other one is his good buddy "Wiser."

If you wanna see bad animation, then check out the animation for Raptor way back in 1994.

^Got the job done though.

Take a look at the animations for Griffon and Sheikra at Busch Gardens. While they are bad, they in no way put the rides that they're showing in the right scale.

I'd agree with you on that. But what really got me about Griffon wasnt its animation but rather one of the concept art. http://www.buschgardensnews.com/061211_Griffon_Construction_Web/ppages/ppage4.html

Yes Blue I got my inspiration from George because I too am a music nerd.
