The three rabbit toys are designed to be made of cotton cloth and have different patterns inside the ears. I have taken reference from my little elephant for the placement of the stitches.

For the modelling and texturing of the rabbit toy, I referred to Blender Guru and CG Cookie's tutorial. I completed the modelling in Maya, used Procreate and Substance 3D Painter to make the textures and rendered them in Blender.
I am still working on how to make the stitching and I will also rig the rabbit toys next semester.

I replaced the eyes with buttons to make it look more like a toy. And added stitches to it.

I use a transparent material to make the little girl's tears, then use the cloud noise texture for the animation of tears.

I found that the tears were not quite visible as the light in the scene was very dark. So I use holdout to render a separate light for the tears.
