This cute squirrel needed a house, so I built one utilizing Autodesk Maya for my Animation Mentor Assignment. I built a low-poly model. When I was modeling this squirrel house, I was inspired by the structures of the houses in Animal Crossing, a social simulation video game series developed and published by Nintendo.
