UDK Space Centrifuge Experiment

The long-awaited video of my attempt to simulate a space centrifuge! As it spins through space like a wheel, it generates centrifugal force which simulates gravity. This was seen in 2001: A Space Oddysey. The entire thing is one consistent piece, which the player can appear to walk around from the inside. Doing this by utilizing gravity volumes built-in to UDK would probably have been impossible. In actuality, it's an effect which is done by keeping the player stationary, and rotating the entire level around based on the player's inputs.
Done in UDK for an Advanced Level Design assignment. I was the only one who had ever tried it this way.
