The root folder of the TAR archive is neatly organised into the following folders:

• tools -
• Art - All the Maya 3D assets for the Characters and their animations
• documents - All the documents created during the process of game development

Each of these folders will be covered in the sections below, use the Table of Contents to jump to a particular location of interest.

This folder contains the 3D Character models in Maya binary format (*.mb) for all the player and non-player characters in the game, including a few unused characters such as Pootchy.

It is possible that these were initially created for the Simpsons road rage and have been carrier over to Hit and Run.

There is one file in the root directory called characters.xls which contains a list of all the character models and their poly count Low/Medium/High and the Milestones they are to be created for.

Each character has a target upper poly count for each level of detail that they must stay below in order to keep the game running smoothly.

In the spreadsheet there are also multiple model types such as:

• FMV - Models only used for FMV cutscenes (no poly limits)
• D - Detailed, has a higher poly limit as its likely to be one of the major characters in a scene
• P - ? Maybe playable, has a standard poly limit
• B - Boss (has a much larger poly count, e.g Truckasaurus)
• F - ? Has a very low poly limit (725)

Most characters have a High, Medium and Low version used in the game for optimizing with LOD (Level of Detail), so it can spawn in a lower poly model when the model is further from the screen.

This folder contains the Animation skeletons for the 3D Character models in P3D binary format (.p3d) and Maya animation format (.ma) for all the player and non-player characters in the game.

The animations have been broken down in to a number of categories based on the type of movement that a character can perform:

• Child - Animations for the children such as Bart and Lisa
• Fat - Animations for fat characters such as Barney
• Normal - Animations for the rest of the characters
• Old - Animations for old characters such as Grandpa
• Truckasaurus - Animations for the Truckasaurus

• Woman - Animations for the female characters such as Marge
