Watch that black hole overhead, it’s a killer.
Is there some kind of rotoscopic movement from one figure to the next?
It’s hard to see what they’re doing.
I’ve never seen one of these on such a petite, surf-friendly scale before.
How many MBs is it?

the figures are frames from an animated gif that i pulled from my favorite youtube video.
this is the gif 
the file size is only 184kb! it is actually 12kb smaller than the jpg it was pulled from.
Chow Daddy (and Friend) Descending A Staircase.
That is indeed an awesome YT find.

FWIW, on a PC, the QTVR is maybe 300 x 300 on Firefox and 150 x 75 on the evil IE.
I was viewing it on IE yesterday at w*rk when I first commented.

yeah it is 300 x 150 on safari here….oh the browsers and their quirks.
i could add arguments for height and width in the embed tags, but sometimes
i like to leave it up to the browser.
I like the larger version that Paul posted a link to. It’s easier to make it spin–less torque is required.

yeah. i think the larger size works better as well for this one. ive been trying to make some really gargantuan ones, as well as convert some from random computer drawings that i have….i wish there was a way to embed a soundtrack.
I love this, I made a ton of qtvrs in the mid 90′s with goofy gif images but I lost all that stuff when I was poor at gradschool and let my hosting account expire…
I love the time aspect being introduced into what one expects to be a static image….
what software are you using? is there something new and free out there to make these?
what I have been using is this software called MakeCubic.
it is available here.

It is pretty easy to use. If you can find any of your old ones i would be interested in seeing them.
