Adam Crowther Desk Scene
   
   
   
 The True Thinker's Desk 
Inspiration

The desk scene I have chosen to render is one everyone is familiar with; the bathroom.  I have collected an arrangement of items commonly found in public restrooms and gathered them into a scene that is uncanny to that of a common desk.  My inspiration came from an idea I had as a senior in high school.  I noticed the amount of poetry and graffiti that is found in many unattended public areas and I believe that the best thinking happens there; in privacy.  My scene includes personal graffiti and my whole take on restrooms in general, overall it was an extremely fun and creative process.

Problems and Solutions

This was my first time modeling so problems occurred frequently.  Things like dividing polygons, picking out the right shape to build an object with, and tool experimentation slowed down the process significantly.  I got through all of these problems through trial and error and overall learned much more than I expected to.
