- Viewpoint now has a model of a
SIII 88" Land Rover (lrover.obj.zip) by F. X. DeJesus on it's anonymous Ftp server. This is a 3D model for computer animations.
(This is actually a model of my (Ben) Land Rover, so there are some differences--such as the rear bumper--from a stock SIII. One of my coworkers made the model just to make a video to tease me.
I've now seen the video. It features dust, a good simulation of wheels following a rough road and oil drips. At the end my Rover is destroyed by a Shadow ship (see image below) as featured on
Babylon 5 My Land Rover gets cut in half and explodes. It isn't pretty.
