The original 1914 blueprints were referenced in creating the 3D model. The model was built and animated using 3D Studio Max sofware. The approximate modeling time was 160 hours. Materials and lighting took 40 hours and camera set up and paths took 40 hours. The one half minute animation required rendering 2700 individual frames, or roughly 130 hours of computer time.
