Rubik's Cube

This was my project for an introductory 3D animation class. The goal of the project was to develop a familiar base for how animation is accomplished in a 3D environment. The course is not directed towards scripting or programming, however I decided to take the opportunity to get my hands dirty and introduce myself to the concept.
