The Little Forklift That Could

I worked with Microsoft to create some fun, engaging animations to help visualize some interesting stats about the company and it's products. I created simple 3D models & animations in Cinema 4D and the folks at Makeshift Creative adapted the models for use in WebGL. This was super fun because now you can go to the By The Numbers site (http://news.microsoft.com/bythenumbers/) and not only see the 2D animated GIFs I made, but be able to see & interact with them in 3D!

I came up with the idea of a forklift to help illustrate that there are 669,000 apps for phone, desktops, and tablets in the Windows store. Thats a lot of apps being shipped to devices!

Be sure to check this site out on your mobile device where it'll use your gyroscope & touch screen to interact with the characters:
