DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED : Well, we got the car model from the internet ,and we made some modifications on it and we had it on the scene which was made by simple geometry we animated the car by paths and what was a real job was the material animation, we used some plugins also from the internet for the explosions and the cracks ,the thunder flash was an extruded object with an animated material,the sounds were also obtained from the net. We hope you enjoy it and please forgive us because it is our first time making an animation project. Fadi A. Abu-Farha Tymoor S. Hamdokh .
