Prius Computer Animated Simulation

Saw this great computer animation posted by a moderator over at GreenHybrid.com.

Pretty funny! I especially like the "ghost" of the Prius at the end

Here's the link so you can choose what format you want it in.

And the scoffers claim that hybrids have no power. It easily cleared that car!

:-)

I considered joining that board if only to compliment the creator.

thanks for sharing! Very funny.

What I thought was interesting is that the creator owns a Honda Civic Hybrid, not a Prius.

Could that be the reason he had the car explode?!?

i love your avatar!!

now that wouldnt be a indirect comment on the length of the waiting list in your area would it??

If it were truly a comment on the wait list, perhaps the car would have no "soul". :wink:

While watching the green Prius' extended "death scene", I was reminded of Paul Reuben's never-ending death scene at the end of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie.

The least they could have done would have been to respect the conservation of angular momentum during the jump!

I think I also noticed one point where the car comes to a stop but the wheels keep turning.

The only point seems to be that the guy likes to fantasize about Prius getting wrecked because he drives an inferior car.

Setve's actually a really nice guy. He has a lot of respect for all hybrids and I'm pretty sure he would not think his car is "inferior". When proposing the creation of this animation there was long discussions of whether he should do this with a Civic or Prius. It was actuallya Prius owners suggestion that helped make the final determination.

Steve will be the first to admit that getting a natural flow of movement from character animation is not his strongest suit. But he enjoys doing this for fun anyway! I hope he does some more in the future.

I still think he has Prius envy.
