ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: Do bugs ever play with kids' toys when no one is around? A housefly has an unfortunate run-in with a child's toy. 
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED:  See "Tools Used." The biggest challenges in creating this piece were using Bryce's texture editor to create a realistic texture for the basketball (I failed) and getting the lighting just right (I probably failed). This animation is the result of less than a month of self-motivated tinkering with Bryce.
