Interesting fact, this baby was everywhere because it came with 3D Studio Max. It was included as a demo model alongside a cartoony ogre and a velociraptor.

The animation was also included to demo their Character Studio animation and motion capture capabilities.

So Ally McBeal just used a pre made animation and acted like they made it?

I read 2 articles on its creation and different animators were mentioned in each story. The only consensus I saw between the articles was that John Chadwick combined the baby model, animation and music together. The baby model was purchased to be used in 3DSMax, so they could have made it for Ally Mcbeal then sold the model

Hey, I forgot all about 3D Studio Max! I used a pirated copy of that to create a 3D logo for my friend's business.
