Thought I would share this animation with ye.
I finished it a few weeks back.
It took around 6 weeks to complete.
Hope you like.

Wow, gratz that is amazing ! Very realistic animation.
Is it a real product though ?

animation is good but surely thats not a real product ?
You would need the sides of trench like that shuttered anyway to prevent collapses , and from workin with these pipes you would need someone where one length slides into the other as they only slide together easily when perfectly in line and greased up well.

Thanks.
The machine is being built as we speak.
It might look slightly different but the concept is the same.

The laser for lining up the pipes looks like a very clever idea. Great animation too. I'm used to Pro Engineer Cad software, so I would have no problem modelling something like that, but it's the animation of that would take me months to work out!
