I think it'd be interesting to do big drops on a MUni with
"suspokesion", it'd kinda turn into a kangaroo wheel upon
impact. Assuming you were aiming for a "correct" rolling
landing it'd make it a bit harder to pedal at first (which
isn't -necessarily- a bad thing) and then moments later when
the hub was on its way back up to the center of the wheel
it'd (I think) become easier to pedal. It'd take a bit of
getting used to but it'd be cool!
I'm thinking a 3 pronged suspension unit (like in the 3d
models at the start of this thread) with only 2 of the 3
having hinges between the hub and the rockshox would work in
terms of a "beautiful suspension action". I was thinkin some
sort of ball in socket joint for a hub would be interesting
(if only slightly impossible)...
If anyone's got any more brilliant ideas or things to add
about suspension MUnis, please post them up and I'll have a
go at incorporating them into another 3dmodel, that way we
all get to stare in wonder at them without havin to go
through the hassle of actually making them. :p
By the way, a few people have been asking about this, the
answer is I've been using Lightwave3D 7.5c (www.newtek.com)
for the models, it really is the complete package in terms
of "out of the box" bang for your buck. I highly recommend
it to anyone wanting to get into 3d modelling or 3d
animation.
cheers Pete
