I had some kids and went back to the comforts of feature animation production. Dreamworks allowed more flexibility during off times and so I was able to use some of their proprietary software tools to practice lighting, texturing, and fur.

I created characters like The Verminator,

Rufus, all the birds, Hammy's girlfriend,

most of Gladys's backyard, props, house, including textures,

and I created and groomed some of their fur and feathers in Dreamworks' proprietary system.
