PMJI- Rick, and others- Regarding the Afro-American/Black character in C/Net's animation, they went into detail on how it was done last sat. Pretty interesting. They justified the color of skin because of the hair type found in the abandoned cap. (as mentioned before) Just thought I'd affirm that that's their official reasoning, not just a pondering. I think they wanted (besides getting attention) to do a really high quality, high realism forensic animation. They touted it as the best, and a (hopefully) model for others to come. Motion capture by BioVision, rendered on SGI's, etc. A metric camera was even used to get accurate dimensions of the building. All pretty interesting. Too bad it's just another going on about a guy who killed 2 people. I think it's pathetic, and a sad reflection of our culture's interests. OJ shouldn't get any more attention than anybody else. Is it me, or is America really bored? JNJ
