The Marvellous Mechanical Mouse Organ

Based upon another illustration I did a ways back, I thought it would be nice to animate this in 3DS Max. It took a day to build, texture and animate but another full day to render it. I just wish I had the processing power to add caustics to the scene, but ho hum.

Oh. And if you think the mouse heart is far too big for the scene, that’s because all of this takes place in a shoe box. 😉
