Taylor Allread Desk Scene
   
   
   
 What Desk? 
Inspiration

I don't actually have a desk of my own, so this desk scene is a representation of that fact. The desk is plain, the room is plain, there are hardly any objects in the scene, and the objects that are there are boring. The desk scene is hardly there, just as my “real” desk is hardly there. I tend to use books or counter tops in real life, and my desk is always temporary and mobile. This desk scene seems to be similar, in that everything can be moved easily, and doesn’t seem permanent.

Problems and Solutions

My largest problem was being sick for a week and missing lecture and labs. I missed important instruction and valuable time to work on my project, as well as the option to get help with the desk scene. I had to teach myself a lot out of the book, and spent a lot of time out of class working on the project.
 
I also had many problems with strange little things on Lightwave, such as certain images not loading, objects mysteriously being deleted or altered, and near the end I also had a problem with all of my saved textures completely disappearing. The only thing I could really do to solve these problems were to start Lightwave over and redo most of the missing components
