The 'Rush' Project

Today I'm announcing my newest project: The 'Rush' Project.
Basically, I'm creating a blender animation to commemorate all the albums from the rock band, Rush. (The best band ever!)

To do this, first I'm recreating all the rush albums in 3D. Some of them are hard, so I'm just mapping the texture and making parts of it in 3D. Other albums, I will recreate 100% in blender. I will then animate them with cool effects and of course, Rush music playing in the background. I'm still in the planning stages, but here is some of what Ive done just to test-

Actual album:

My (partly) 3d blender version:
And from the side:
Hopefully I will finish this one soon. Until then, check here for updates!

Here is where you can find a test build of blender 2.5. Remember, it is still in the development stage, so a lot of the features are missing. I suggest you check it out too, its really cool!
