I suppose polygonal modeling in Maya can be quite fun and Renderman is absolutely lovely, when it does work.

The deadline looms precariously close and time trickles relentlessly away. For Alfred and colleagues, being incarcerated in the studio slaving away seems like a sensible thing to do. Yet energy sets with the sun. Soon, these edgy "studio rats" started to grow spikes and discovered letting out your pent up feeling can lead to some disastrous consequences!
