Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Haunting.... "Here it is! After many hours of hard work, several sleepless nights, and lots of caffeine, we can now present our real-time animation of the sinking of the Titanic! This animation is intended to go along with our real-time sinking podcast, to be held tonight, April 14th, at approximately 10PM Eastern Daylight Time. It will be hosted by Tom, Matt, and Kyle, and a special guest if they decide to join us. We will cover events of the sinking in real time, and we'll have our listeners play the video along with us so we all have a visual of the sinking's progression. Please note that the video is still processing and available only in 360p at the moment. Hopefully, by the time of the podcast, it will be available in up to 720p. This animation was created as accurately as we could get it in the time we had. It shows the ship's general sinking progress, as well as lifeboat launches, rockets firing, and the Californian on the horizon. You'll see funnels falling and the ship breaking up in the final moments, and the final positions of the lifeboats at 2:20AM. This is NOT a sped-up animation or a short animation slowed to be real-time. This is a fully real-time recreation of the sinking, from just before the collision to just after the sinking. 2 hours and 41 minutes. Of course the animation isn't perfect. Accuracy-wise, we've already spotted a few things to be fixed later. Animation-wise, it lacks some finer details, like wires or boat falls, better water and effects, and the camera might be bumpy in some places. It's not easy animating and rendering nearly three hours of events on short notice! You can find the sinking video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9w5bgtJC8 And remember, 10PM EDT is when we begin our podcast! Start loading the video a little early, keeping it paused on 0:00 (or skim it beforehand if you prefer) and perhaps join us in the Mixlr chat room in the minutes leading up to the podcast.

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 As many time as I have seen stuff about the Titanic, the ending never changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheatin Charlie Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I found this article interesting on the legal aftermath of the sinking. I had never thought about it before. https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2012/spring/titanic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
