Snakeyes over South Vietnam

Snakeyes over South Vietnam

This animation shows two F-100 Super Sabre fighters dropping pairs of Snakeye bombs over the Central Highlands of South Vietnam in the Vietnam War. These bombs were designed to, upon release, open air brakes to allow low flying aircraft time to fly away from the blast zone, and thus prevent damage to the aircraft.

World War I Trench

World War I Trench

This piece is of a World War I trench scene. Originally, the 3D objects in the scene were published by DHS back in 1998. The models were recently re-worked with better textures and details were added such as the raindrops hitting the puddles on the trench floor, new barbed wire elements, communication cables and various ad-hoc weapons that they'd fashion while living in the trenches. Check out the 360 Virtual Tour below of this scene.

Zeppelin in Flames

Zeppelin in Flames

During WWI, the German airship SL11 became the first Zeppelin lost on raids over England. It was shot down by 2nd Lieutenant Leefe Robinson RFC, flying a BE2c fighter. The inferno of the burning airship lit up an area for miles around London and cheers went up through the city. Robinson was awarded the Victoria Cross and became a hero to the war weary British public.

B-17 Formation

B-17 Formation

All the relative distances and positions of the bombers in this scene reflect an accurate "box" formation that American bombers used to employ in 1942-43 for mutual protection from German fighters. The Germans had found that the greatest weakness of the B-17 bomber formation was its front, so they developed tactics to attack the bombers head-on with a high combined closing speed. Also, the faster they passed through, the harder it was for the bomber's gunners to hit them. ​

B-17 Formation

B-17 Formation

Some German pilots claimed they'd close their eyes when flying through a bomber formation head-on as it was rather intimidating to fly straight into a group of enemy planes at such speeds. Later versions of the B-17 bomber had added machine guns in the 'chin' position, just under the nose Plexiglas to counteract these tactics and offer the bomber more protection.​​

Charles Minard's 1869 Map

Charles Minard's 1869 Map

Charles Minard's 1869 chart shows the number of men in Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign army, their movements, as well as the temperature they encountered on the return path. This famous map showed, in particular, the horrendous losses Napoleon's army incurred on his retreat from Russia.

In this shot of the 3D Mindard map, one can see how a separate column from the North linked back up with the army, but there were terrible losses as Napoleon's army attempted to cross the frozen Berezina River. Pontoon bridges collapsed due to panicked soldiers trying to get across and many drowned in the icy river.

This is the last frame of the animated 3D Minard Map. The staggering losses of Napoleon's army is made more evident by applying a third dimension to the data. Interestingly, some of the numbers on Minard's map actually were slightly off when measuring the map at specific spots to make the 3D version.
