Digger

This is a digger I created about 4 years ago for fun and I suddenly remembered it as it fitted in just great with a site I was doing.

Very good - was that originally an animated gif?

Excellent SWF Egg.

I guess it was the little boy in me that always admired machines of that ilk. Could never get enough of them...could watch them all day.

Nice animation egg. :cool:

I love it.

-- I'm away to ask my son, if he's willing to lend his crane to me - for playing a little bit with it.

Need I say it Egg, well executed nice and smooth.

Mesmerising. It keeps moving and I keep watching :D

Thanks fellas. It was mostly created in Xtreme. The hard part was working out the linkages between the various 'arms', so there was a lot of 'arcs of movement' that were also exported from Xtreme but not visible on the final swf.

Raymond, no it was drawn in Xtreme and exported into Flash. In fact I think it would be extremely difficult to do as a gif, trying to keep each relevant part aligned with the other parts (with no tweening) would lead to a great amount of frames as well as patience.

A really nice piece of intricate work there Egg, would love to see it digging :) some earth.
