This is the main scene in our movie where the beautiful tomate finally falls in love with the once ugly potatoe. The high resolution texture of the potatoe took a lot of hard work and time of C.Krey. We also added some postcards from our friends projects in the background. Like the squirrel movie and the "Melvin" clip.  Did I allready mention to go and check www.filmschool.de for more projects ? :-)
	If there is one thing to hate in Maya then dynamic simulations would be it.  We had a hard time, and I mean hard, to get this animation ready. G.Runke once went nuts and ran screaming through school in the middle of the night. But I guess we can be proud of the animation in the end.
	Ok, maybe there is one thing that's worse than dynamic simulations. Guess that's a fine particle simulation together with a dynamic simulation. Can't get worse fellas. It took us about one month to get this animation work properly. But in the end, like always, we solved the problems and had a great animation. By the way. It took a dual 800MHz Pentium III six hours for a single frame to render it in 768x432pix.
	The Designers had a great time making everything dirty and realistic. We are not totally satisfied, but time is of essential. So use it wisely. The textures are straight out of G.Runke's kitchen and he said it was clean by the time we took them. Urgh ;)
	With the support of www.dvgarage.com C.Krey modelled and textured this great looking pile of wood. It's the home of our little potatoe actor. And we needed it comfortable and palatially because the potatoe actor was quiet snobbish and incessantly talked to his agent. Some actors just suck.
	Here you can see the animated displacement texture on the eyes. Well, if it wouldn't be a still. The tomatoe was pretty nasty about putting animated textures on her eyes. But after threatening her that we will make Ketchup out of her, she was calm and stopped bothering us.  For a while, we all know what happens to her.
