The Waddl'ard Christmas Card 1999

Full Static Card

To see the full animation, click on the card. There will be some few seconds delay before the animation begins.

This card is a still taken from the end of a VRML animationof a morris dance to the 'Sussex Carol' tune. The 'side' is dressed approximately in Wadard Morris Men kit (handkerchiefs and bells are missing). Currently I unable to embed the animation into this web page for general distibution, only locally in the Internet Explore browser. That is unsatisfactory and I need to find a more general technique.

For the record, the animation was produced on a 450 MHz PC with a Matrox 200 graphics accelerator card with a sound card and VRML browser supporting general MIDI (SB16 and CosmoPlayer 2.1.1) That produced very jerky movement.

Each figure in the model, being based on the Humanoid Animation Group's "Specification for a Standard Humanoid", is capable of individual movement. i.e. it can be programmed to walk or dance. In this animation I had not yet progressed that far.
