When I was 9, I was fortunate enought to go to Italy with my father (who was playing a jazz festival in Lugano, Switzerland at the time). While there, I got a small bust of Leonardo DaVinci that I've had ever since.

This project was a 3d, interactive version of that bust, made over into a kind of virtual puppet. I modeled the character in 3d Studio, textured him in Photoshop, and implemented the interactivity/animation using ALICE

Pressing various keys on the keyboard triggers an assortment of animations of the character. Click here to see a video.
