Trap

when creating the trap i found it hard to animate as i couldnt get it to do what i wanted it to do so i then had to think of another way of the mouse helping the rat so i decided for the rat to fall into the sink and then for the mouse to kick a chopping board in to help the rat get out.

cheese

i created a wedge of cheese was created and then a cheese texture was added

fridge

i decided to create a fridge in the kitchen by adding lights and images of things that you might find in the fridge. the lights were created to give the effect of the fridge opening. the effect was used wile the camera was looking at the rat. this was done so you can still see the fridge opening with out seeing it in the camera view.

lifting

to create the lifting i had to move the biped in to the lifting movements in setting the key frames in how people lift.

morpher

to create the expression for the mouse i decided to use the morpher tool, i did this by copying the mouse 4 times and on everyone of these times i changed something different, for examples first i changed the eyes on the 1st copied mouse the 2nd mouse i changed the mouth the 3rd mouse i changed the ears and the 4th mouse i changed the whiskers, i then used the morpher modify tool and then clicked on select from window and selected the mouse to apply to the master copy and do this for all the copy's and then the copy's can then be deleted and the expressions can be changed on the mouse.
