Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
I remember seeing one of these as a kid.. had no idea it was called a 'Zoetrope' until the weekend but have been thinking for a while if it would be possible to recreate it in max.. turns out with a bit of motion blur ya can. Now that its working it should be simple to add any short animation strip in there... kinda cool
