Product Notes
May I offer a little prop of a toy I made for my daughter's birthdays when they were young. It is a little balloon hovercraft. The balloon is blown up through the little hole on the underside, then you put it on a floor or hard surface and it then scoots around on a cushion of air when you knock it. It stops when the balloon goes down.
It turns out it was much more fun for the adults who came to the parties than 3yo kids!
There are 3 morphs, Shrink (of the balloon as air goes out), and balloon bend or side-side to simulate inertia as you knock the balloon. The model is texture mapped, but no textures are used.
In reality it's a cheap & fun toy to make if you have a lathe and a few spare CD's (use the lathe to knock up a coupler to glue to the CD and interface with the baloon). Definitely something the kids will never have come across before.

Cool design.
Thank you. Just a fun toy. The room, dining table, crockery, cutlery & chairs are all Ness Period Reproductions Regency Dining Poser sets updated to DS, and the remainder of the furnishings are LaurieS Victorian Furnishings. I thought the juxtaposition of antique furnishings, serious ancestral portraits with a couple of obviously modern adults behaving like children was fun.
