Cool, although way above my head. Interestingly, SolidWorks is produced by a subsidiary of a partner of Dassault Aviation, which probably makes these commercially for military purposes.

threw my animation onto google vid just to poke around, took them two days to accept it (I guess they manually go through and approve every vid ) and the quality of the flash is lacking, but it gives you a better idea than the pictures

it wasnt all that hard to make really, just took quite a bit of time and getting used to how solidworks likes to deal with things
