Problems and Solutions:
A problem I had to begin this project is how to make the floor resemble a real floor, with the glossiness and the reflection it has. After messing around with the lighting and different camera angles, I finally found the scenes that made the floor shine great. Another problem I encountered was designing the floor. I was going to use an image form the internet and place it on the floor and just make it shinny, but I though that would be to easy, so I decided to make my own floor design. It was tough because I had to stack all the pieces of the floor on one another and if I moved one of them, I moved them all, but after a while I got the hang of it and ended up with a good product. I really enjoyed this project because I had a lot of free time at home and built all my objects on one night and allowed me to get ahead of the project and worry about the lighting and renderings.
