Well, in a way, yes. The software I'm using is actually used for 3D animation, so its pretty easy to create a movie sequence such as the one you described. If I was crazy enought to model the internal componants of the engine (TBD at this point), one could phantom-out the block and animate the innards doing their thing (I actually did this on a simplified V-8 engine years back for a virtual-reality demo). Same story with tranny, transfer, winch, etc. Animating a change in viewpoint, like say your walking around the truck, is a breeze. Interacting with the model is a whole 'nother level all-together, but I guess it could be done with with some web-authoring software like Dreamweaver. I better shut my trap now, or I'll be getting myself in a heap of trouble... :)
