 Too Many Computer Files 
Inspiration

My Inspiration came from me having to burn many files in my computer onto DVDs for back up as well as freeing some space in my hard drive.  The other part is that I have a weird looking table to place my computer on, which the monitor is so heavy that the table tends to lean back so I put the monitor very close to the wall.  I have stacks of CDs and DVDs and sometimes they may get unorganized and I just leave them all over the place.  I tend to get a drink as well and end up not taking it back so it just sits in my room on my desk.  Last is my trashcan, which is empty because my trash usually ends up somewhere else in my room.

Problems and Solutions

P:  Difficulty with making glass
S:  The tutorials were helpful in providing information on making a good glass object.
 
P:  There was not any light seen from light sources
S:  Light was present after rendering and not in the scene
 
P:  Making a Keyboard was too difficult
S:  I had to borrow Lightwave’s Keyboard due to insufficient time for making a complete model of a keyboard.
