Cover: The cover image is by Adnan Edwards of Axis Graphics. He writes, The cover image represents an initial landing position of an occupant thrown from a rolling vehicle. It was done with Kinetix 3D Studio r4 for DOS and is related to my forensic animation article, "Rollovers," in 3DA#23. I used several stock items from various CD-ROM model collections. You may recognize the main character as being one of those great Crestline Humanoid models, which are a must-have for every forensic animator. I added a cap, shades, shoes, and a watch to the driver's outfit. The car is from Ketiv's Blocks & Materials CD-ROM.
