I guess a plastic dish pan would make a full sized pool for back yard parties (?) Poolside plastic chairs could be.....I dunno....maybe little upside-down coffee creamer containers, or some other discarded stuff acquired from dumpster diving. And they would need a diving board.....hmmm....a plastic tongue depresser, or used popsickle stick, tied to something as a support, with a "ladder" created from something (?).

What timing....I just loaded that bowl into a scene to test it, although I don't think it's the iray version, so I'll grab it . . .

Whenever I download a lot of props and stuff, I usually stick everything in a scene, so I can see the "tools" that I have to work with, and how they basically render....and it helps me locate them when I need them later....just a habit that I have....it's mostly so that I don't forget ideas in the early stages :) Like dumping the toys out on the desktop, so that my imagination can play :)

I have a parrot cage that was a freebie at you-know-where years ago, but I'm still trying to find it in my runtime....haha.

This is a halted iray render....it just gives me an idea whether things will render well in iray.

It's called The Dumpster...was a freebie at you-know-where, for both Poser and Studio....so it's probably an older model....the lids raise and lower independently.

Oh my goodness....yep....their idea of going "shopping"....haha. Great render!

They could have a way to roll, or haul, their stuff back home....hmmm....what is roach-sized? A roller skate (?)....or some toy truck or miniature toy wagon (?) I'm thinking of, what would a bug see, in a bug's world....maybe an old matchbox truck....something that can be pulled, or dragged, or pushed.

I guess this has been a "dumpster diving for freebies" night....haha.

Well....the first run was pretty good....I will run it again...to get a little better control of the right hand, and also to try a slight "squish" of the ball yScale on the downswing....otherwise, this turned out okay for a first animation in Studio that was this complicated (there are a lot of movements going on, in many different directions....haha) :rofl:
