Take a look at this adorable little rat, which has probably seen its fair share of trouble, created by Matteo Durand for a short movie called "Trash." The artist was responsible for texturing, shading, and grooming the 3D animal, combining several workflows to achieve a "rougher, more textured look" to match the artistic direction of the film.

"This project was a real challenge in balancing realism with the stylized nature of the artistic direction. I'm particularly proud of the crunchy texture I achieved through a mix of techniques, which gave the character a raw yet believable look," Durand said.

If this tiny creature piqued your interest, I'll have to disappoint you: according to the artist, the movie is still in festival competition, so you can't watch it at the moment.
