Inspiration:

My inspiration for this scene was getting an A.  I really just started the project out hoping that I was following all of the rules for the assignment.  I started with a desk and pretty much modeled the rest of the room around that.  I also tried to make it look realistic.

Problems:

I had numerous problems throughout this project.  I would start with the most remedial thingmaking the room in which my scene was going to take place.  It is very hard to get all of the sizes constant and to make all four walls meet in my picture.  Another problem that I found was loading pictures onto the walls of the scene.  This just was not happening for me.  A third problem that I had was making sure that my creations were saved on both modeler and lightwave.  

Solutions:

I have to remember which view I am looking at and building off of.  I would think that I needed a north wall when really if I was on the right view, it ended up being the east wall.  I wasn't very aware of which perspective I was working with.  Once the sizes are all the same, it ends up becoming a piece of cake.  For my second problem, I had to get Ranger's help.  It turns out that in order to bring an outside picture into the project, there are many steps.  This includes first saving it onto my zip disk.  Next going into layout on Lightwave-Plugins-Add Plug-Ins-and finally In-Out.  This was also taught in class, but I missed that one.  Thirdly, I simply needed to make sure that it was saved twice.  Once on Modeler and once on Lightwave.  This is important because a project will not carry over into Lightwave unless I do it myself.
