ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 


Basically, this animation shows how supplies are transported
to a castle in the air.

I didn't have much time to work on this one, so it is a bit
sketchy.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

All source is hand-coded using Ted for Linux.

It is all rather simple really. The castle and the supply
station on the ground are made from a lot of boxes, the ground
consists of two height fields made in hflab. The beasts of
burden are made from lots of bezier patches, but they are
mostly recycled from previous projects. The flight paths are
splines and the wing movements are sine functions.
