This anaglyphic animation of an underdressed dancer was made by Paul Steed, a pioneer of 3D modeling and rendering, truly one of the titans of the industry.

That's gotta hurt.The woman depicted is "Fire Girl," who was a character in a game titled "Mojo Master," which I never played and likely never shall, as it has been discontinued. From what I gather, it was a dating simulator, rewarding the player for seducing imaginary women. Real classy.

The dancing simulation is very advanced, especially at the legs, hips, and waist; the anatomy is accurate, and the movement is so natural, I suppose it must be a motion-capture from a real dancer. The arms are a bit less realistic, the wrists and hands are frankly pretty sloppy. At several points you can see her arm pass right through her body and pop out the other side. Ouch.

It goes on for almost six minutes, but her routine stays the same throughout. You can stop watching whenever you've seen enough, without worrying that you'll miss something different.
