They also dont use a language "regular computers" cant read. Since they run off of computers made by Cray Systems they are running off unix
Add to that the fact that "motion" data isnt that simple. IF you were to look at it in data form..it would be a series of 16 to 32 #s that indicate various degrees of motion, nothing as simple as "open hand" "close hand" with fancy #s behind it.
As i said..its mocapped. Either thru puppetry or by life sized rigs. "Manual" tweaking DOES exist, but its nothing close to this.
Finally..IF this were legit..and he were who he says he were..he'd be fired by now. Posting any type of "code" used by a disney ride system would put him in breach of contract, and since theres at most 5 ride programmers PER ride..it wouldnt be hard to narrow it down as to whom posted that info
Like Bill said before, all the code was for is one show element just some lighting and show effects.
There is usually a Show Control unit that controls the whole show. It sends out all the lighting cues and show sequences and triggers the animation.
The animation has its own program and just receives start and stop commands. That code had nothing to do with animation programming.
