I remember seeing one of these as a kid.. had no idea it was called a 'Zoetrope' until the weekend but have been thinking for a while if it would be possible to recreate it in max.. turns out with a bit of motion blur ya can. Now that its working it should be simple to add any short animation strip in there... kinda cool
You can grab the max file here (max 7 or later) - zoetrope.max.rar

heheh, it needs a bit of motion blur to work well but its worth a shot.. it should still work
