I love(d) the movie "Honey I shrunk the Kids." I loved the shrink ray in the movie and I remember building one out of a t-ball stand and old computer parts and wire my dad had in the garage. I decided to model and render a more modernized version of the good old shrink ray.
Modeled in Maya 8.5
Rendered in Maxwell Render
Please comment and critique are welcome.

The shrink ray part is cool, but you need to do more with the background/lighting.

Yeah, I was thinking attic or garage/warehouse.

I like the sheet idea. Now to figure out how to simulate a sheet..... I think I'll build an attic to put it in as well. Thanks for your ideas.
