The argument to not have animation at all is also a reasonable one. But so far nobody has made it that I'm aware of. There have merely been suggestions that it could be made.

What HOW could possible lead from that WHY?
None. There is no HOW that "it looks cool" informs upon. As you showed yourself.
A four minute animation is a WHAT, and the WHAT is already being considered in the other thread. This thread is about HOW.
What you are talking about is WHY NOT.
The WHY NOT informs on the HOW. If the WHY NOT cannot be eliminated by the HOW, then there can be no WHEN.
Your account should not be deleted. That's just a drama-queen move and is completely disrespectful to all the people you have conversed with over 886 posts.

Unfledged is fully right with most of his remarks, you always have to answer the "why" before the "how".

Those are always the best animation intro's in games; where if you click, you move on straight away.
Give me a click, Vasili. One click only .
