Behold, ladies and gentlemen, the majesty of my very first 3D-animated piece.

I'm not happy with it at all really, It's quite embarrassing to upload it, haha. But hey, it's my first time using Maya (the 3D-software). It works! kind of. I guess. The assignment was; make a 3D-model, make a texture for it, skin it, put a skeleton in there, and make it dance for 30 seconds. The class got to decide the song, and our tutor suggested a cheesy one. So hey, Tequila! The ending is so creepy. Hopefully I won't have to audio-swap it.. sigh.
It was fun though, and I'm quite happy to say that I can -technically- make 3D-animation now.. WOo. 
The character is called Rudd, by the way. He's a deer-man-soldier-guy, with a gas-mask. Also, our teacher encourage low-polygon model(because that's what they want in the game industry), so that's why it looks a bit Windows 98-ish :)
Sorry about the shitty video-quality, though. We never learned how to export properly, derp. And I was in a hurry. SORRY!
