After going through the pages on Maxon Cinema 4D's plugins section, I saw "Dynamics for Your Animations", I feel I found something to make me worry about stolen goods. The 'Makers' of the mousetrap Quicktime film; mousetrap by: Josiah Hultgren Jeff Kleinzweig Josh Miller Chris Swenson --------------------------------- I do hope this isnt what i think it is, a stolen model. :( Marc

There are more Elvis's out there than you can shake a stick at, just a popular entertainment I'm sure.

I do hope so....

There are plenty of differences.
The board is different.
The game itself has been around for about 35+ years, so while the trap pieces don't seem to have changed much, the board graphics probably will have been refreshed many times.

If you look at the green diving man, the red bath and blue pipe work, there are noticeable differences.
The animation at Maxon has the small mouse shaped playing pieces with thin tails that I remember, the ones in tjohn's are bigger and a different style.

Phew, Thanks for checking, I thought i'd found some naughty things going on.... ;)

Yeah, I played with that game as a kid. No, not the same meshes going on. AS

I too played with Mousetrap about 30 years ago but, it just seemed weird that a few days ago tjohn was making it and was asked if it was going to be animated...... Marc

i played mouse trap too only it was about 20 years ago and on a coleco vision lol, a 1 k game love how the mouse changed into a dog with that wow wow noise.

No, not mine. As has been said, this appears to be the original board and player tokens, but the trap parts haven't changed in all that time (why improve on perfection?). We seem to have used a similar accuracy in reproducing the trap parts, too. I remembered the tokens as stylized mice, but had no references to work with so I went with recreating the modern mice, which are more cartoonish, running, with helmets on, as seen here. These were modelled in Wings3d, and some parts are a bit low poly, as I was trying to save memory where the objects wouldn't be close enough to the camera to see the little artifacts. This kept the final render under a couple of hours on the large render, even though there are three soft lights + the Bryce sun in the lighting. John
