An Ideal Workplace
 
Inspiration/Story

The idea of this scene came from a movie.  In this movie scene, there's an office build about two stories high.  In front of the office, there's a small garden and a path that people can walk through it to the street.  It's a good idea for having a garden filled with plants and other scenery that people who work in the office can have a nice place to take a break while they are working hard.

Problems and Solutions:

I tried to solve the spraying water bump map in the water fountain, but I didn't have enough time to fix problem.  So I put a lotus on the fountain instead of spraying water.  For making the tree, there are too many polygons that makes Lightwave took very long to move and fix the object.  To solve this problem, I select leave polygons randomly and cut them out to reduce the object size, it save a lot of rendering time as well.
