Inspiration:

First I started out without any theme or inspiration.  I just wanted to keep the scene simple because this is the first time I use Lightwave.  However, I kept adding stuff into the scene because the table looks so empty.  After I was done, I couldn't come up with a good title, then I had an idea of scanning a picture of Tupac onto Adobe Photoshop and loaded the picture onto my scene.  I think it came out pretty good.  Later when I look at the whole finished scene, I decided to name it Obsessed Fan.  This room belongs to a person who's crazy about Tupac and he/she has his picture out to look at.

Problems & Solutions:

Since this is my very first time using Lightwave, I had a lot of problems.  First, I didn't know how to measure my objects, so my lamp was like, 5 feet tall and my wineglass was 8 feet.  Now I know how to measure and fix my objects.  Then I had a problem in lay-out, I had a hard time putting my scene together.  Also, adding light to my light bulb was frustrating.  I found out that the reason why the light didn't come out the way it should was because the light bulb wasn't set on transparent.  Then I had a problem with setting up the camera for rendering, I couldn't find the right angle for my scene.  But I guess the biggest problem was when I render the scene.  It took so long that I thought I wouldn't be able to finish everything in time.  Other than that, I had fun doing this project.  Hopefully I can do a better job in the group project.
