This is a story of a small boy. Yesterday was his birthday so his room is filled with lot of gifts. He wants to get the special gift that is kept on an upper shelf which is out of his reach. He jumps twice but could not even touch the gift. He gets disappointed and starts thinking upon how he can get the gift. Suddenly an idea flashes in his mind and he runs towards the other gifts kept on the floor. He brings them and stacks them one above another. Then slowly climbs on it to reach for his desired box kept on the shelf. Finally he reaches there and takes the gift. He happily opens the gift; suddenly a hand with boxing glove comes out of the box and punches the boy; the boy falls down on the floor.

All blend shapes were added to a base blend shape. This base blend shape was then added to the main model. A spare blend shape was kept, in case any additional shapes were required to be created, for future use. Separate shapes were created for each half of the head, and some for the complete head.
