The SWF is actually loading a 2MB FLV, which could be a video of something done in some other animation package -- though in this case, I think you're right that it's not done in a 3D package like Blender. I can only imagine the tedium of doing animation like that on the timeline in Flash (but that's just me, and I find animation deeply, coma-inducingly boring). b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

Presumably > nothing made in the last 20 years! Variable speed computer fans were not at all common in 1990. I only met variable speed fans on non-Wintel non-Mac servers in those days. 1995, things were different.
