Looking at the evidence (http://tinyurl.com/78asehw) it’s hard to imagine why, indeed 😀
P.S. You reference “Computer Graphics World”, but show a scan from “3d World”… 😉
Too bad the animation remained unfinished.
Maybe a Si-community project to complete the animation …If we could get a hold of the assets and storyboard!
BTW – Chinny apparently worked as a comedian
(which is another word for “out-of-work actor”, I guess.:D )
