	For this project I was called on to model a baby for a Star Wars Fan Film. The baby needed to be photorealistic and had to be animatible to take the place of a real baby in the mixed real life and CG sets. Forgive the poor quality decal, in this case I just applied the babys front reference image as the decal (not that I was ever really good at texturing anything.)
	Here is the same baby being put through a basic deformation and animation test. In this case only the head of the baby was expected to show, the rest would be just animated blankets. Baby is a bit scary but the basic deformations, particularly in the neck area worked (circa 2000). Fan bones and overlapping smart skin was required to get the deformations working.
