ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 

This animation shows a battle between 3 L.A.C.s and a Turret.
(War Games)

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:

I used hierarchical movement for the LAC's walking.  The slight "limping" you see is a result of the methods used, sadly unavoidable.  The cockpit scenes, in both the turret and the LAC use actual objects - they are not bitmaps (note the shifting shadows on the internal LAC scene).  I am unable to upload the full source-code for this, simply 'cause it's splattered across 2 computers.  I will, however, make available to anyone who emails me, a demonstration of the walking and weapon firing animations.

VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS:
Big screen, dark room, self-made sounds.
