Inspiration

This scene was inspired by my recent completion of a heavy equipment operation class. The class taught the students how to operate Graders, Excavators, Dozers, Loaders, Backhoes, a Dump Truck, and a Water Truck. The class was very informative.

Problems and Solutions

It was difficult using the liquid in the glass tutorial, there were many steps that were skipped in the tutorial.  Making the glass was difficult, need to improve on the glass. 
 
The glass in the image took the longest to design, in LightWave 3D Modelar, it took six hours, the rendering time in LightWave 3D Layout was very fast taking, only two minutes.
 
To make the shadows in layout three point lights were utilized one point light in the ceiling, a point light in front of the desk, and finally the point light in the lamp on the desk.
