Here's something to stare at for a while...

Here's something I always wanted to animate, and finally got around to it; a Porsche 930 air-cooled flat-6 engine:

Apologies to dial-up users, it's a rather large file.

Very cool. Except, the right side exhaust rocker appears to be actuating itself instead of waiting for the cam flange to come around.

Actually Dave, only the outboard cam lobes are visable in the model, right-hand runs the intake follower arm and left-hand runs the exhaust one. Look closely.

I'm still trying to figure out how to show the inside cam lobes, without making it appear as a big confusing blob.

Darryl, Nice work. Totally cool.
Now I have an animated desktop background.

Oh, the background it replaced was another Darryl creation...the pic of the cop chasing me at 160 mph!

Darryl D,
Very cool!
Even though it's not a T engine do you mind if I grab it and host it on the www.911T.org site?

Now that I have saved it, anyone know how to make it my desktop background on a Mac?

edit: I figured it out.
