Here's another animation. This time linked using the embed technique.

I posted a still rendering of this a while back. It is the Wet Product Loading Facilities at Acme Chemicals.

Once again, thanks to Mark Pruitt for allowing me to park a couple of videos on his YouTube channel. I'm in the process of getting a channel for my self.

EDIT  I don't know why it takes up more than the whole width of the screen. Any ideas or suggestions? Can I edit the embed code to a certain pixel width and height?

EDIT #2  It looks like the embed option still needs a little work. So, the plan might be to go to another option: using a simple link to the YouTube channel itself. You don't get an image or a preview or anything, just some cold text in a hot link.

EDIT #3  Time warp . . . I made the adjustment suggested by Mark in the post that comes after this one . . .

Question for Mark. When you shoot your videos, do you set up the camera or the video editing post-processor to those height and width values? Do you set them to any values, or is that all already set inside the camera you use? Right now, I am only using these animations becasuse they are the only 'movies' I have. Soon, I will use my camera (that has video capability) to make actual real-live videos.

That's pretty weird. I always embed my videos, and they've never popped in wider than the thread width.

It appears you can adjust the width of the image in the embed code in the first line, where it gives values for the window. width="560" height="315" are the default values for my videos. Yours in the above clip are width="1004" height="753". You might try adjusting these a bit.

Here's your video with the 560 and 315 values (which came up as default in the YouTube-generated embed code):

Sculpture titled Prometheus Bringing the Gift of Fire cut from a sheet of 1.0 mm acrylic for the entrance to the Natrona County Library on my N Scale layout. I suppose one day I could paint it bronze or something, but for now I kinda like the contrast and highlight of the black figure. The fire is made from two short pieces of stranded 16 ga wire cut from an old lamp cord and twisted together. Granny was right when she said never throw away old lamp cords, you never know when you're gonna need one . . .
