The four images you see are stills taken from an animation Gary created to show an industrial accident for a legal case.  Gary created the rock crusher using MAX and used Character Studio to create and animate the victim.  The man caught his arm in a wire from the machine shown and was pulled in up to the elbow, losing his arm in the accident.

The four images here are stills taken from an animation that Gary produced for a legal case.  The accident happened in the parcel pickup area of the parking lot for a large supermarket in Allentown, PA.  Gary accurately constructed the scene with MAX using the dimensions of the parking lot and building.  He used Character Studio to create the people involved, and animated these as well as the vehicles, showing dynamically how the woman was knocked down and lost her leg in this tragic accident.

Scenes from Route 22, Bridgewater, NJ

Gary has extensive experience in creating accident reconstructions, which have been used in court or for pre-trial settlements. He accurately constructs the roads, barriers, buildings, and all necessary aspects of the scene using MAX and AutoCAD. He develops and animates the people with Character Studio, depicting as closely as possible the events that took place from various points of view. Very often an expert will direct the depiction, for it is his testimony that the animation is illustrating. Gary is one of few people who can include realistic character animation to these scenes. 

Gary developed this scene from Route 22 after going to the actual location of the accident and taking photographs. His animation showed how the fatal accident that occurred was attributable to the insufficiently plowed road surface along the divider.
