Lava Dome Five

[quote user="Diablo"] That's quite incredible, Rex... the amount of work that must have gone into this is pretty astounding! I can almost hear the macro and vehicle crush fans gasping in delight from here :-)  But yes... you totally have to make the next one a real video format! Half the fun is slowing the animation down ...

Hee-hee! Thanks, everybody!! Making this thing took forever and annoyed the crap out of me on several occasions, but I'm really, really pleased with the result. And by the way - thanks for the tips, Ahastar. I dunno how easily I can get my hands on the kinda software you're talkin about (gotta admit, as soon as something says ...

Thanks, Dino. What with all the chaos on the LD5 forums and getting the new site going, I'm totally forgiving of how long it's taken to do this update. :) It certainly needed doing, too - I only had 3 pics in my section before!! Lol!

Indeed! Lol! Linked up from my trusty Photobucket Album. Only problem is it reduced it from 100xsomething to 80xsomething, but that was to be expected.
