Vintage fisher price merry mutt pull toy (1949)

Seventy-five years and still groovin’ with the grain!

The original Fisher Price wood-milled toy, the Merry Mutt. With two keys and four wheels, this untethered canine is ready to play!
Scanned at the courtesy of a local antique shop, polished, texture-baked, rigged, and animated in bringing this "primitive" children’s toy to life.

First, an articulate point cloud, then a tessellated mesh. Utilizing solid body workflows, I drew an extruded assembly in SolidWorks to set the hard-surface basis for the mutt’s retopology. In the mesh environment, I organizing subdivided grids of quad topology, caged new textures, and last but not least, rigged the rigid musician.
