'shakin bakin'

Here's something I did a long time ago,thought I'd recomp it in shake.The original was done with maya and combustion and I was not able to find the file because my old machine was sadly formatted by some jack ass:-(.I lost some of my old files but it actually gave a chance to work on shake..Too bad shake's days are counted and I dont know how long its going to be around.Hope it stays on at least for a little longer.


Here's the render from shake.
