Penta - The First 40 Frames

 

Penta Frame 1

This is a test run of the building flythrough. Note: This animation is about 250k; expect appropriate times to download or to prepare to play.

You may need to adjust monitor brightness. You should play the animation at about 15 fps for the best effect. Some platforms may not attain that frame rate, since this animation is essentially an image flip animation - camera motions prevent any benefits of delta compression from affecting performance.

The viewpoint tracks an axis that starts in the distance, then, as the camera flies through the buildings, the viewpoint shifts swiftly to the mirror building, parallels the camera flight for a short period, and then moves back to the distance.

There's still something wrong with the last transition. It will be fixed in the next version.
