 One bored desk 
Inspiration

Well this wasn’t what I had in mind to begin with. I had something completely different. I wanted something like a letter and pencil laying on a round table standing next to a microphone with a hand glove on it sitting under a spotlight in a middle of a stage. However, along the way it turned into what you see as some what of a really bored desk. This was because the lack time, since I had other projects due the same week or really close to this due date and the fact that I still don't know Lightwave 3D very well. A desk with what looks like a thick school text book and two empty sheets of paper, meaning someone really don’t want do read their home work.

Problems and Solutions

I bumped into a few problems. One was my ignorance with Lightwave’s tool. Because I couldn’t remember which tool did what job too well, I decided to take a few tutorials to help me through. Another one was rendering the glass cup. I searched the web and manage to find a tutorial that helped me out. And the last one was the lighting. That one I struggle through by just playing around with all the different lighting and rendering them to see they turn out. Time was running out so I ended up picking the best of what I had.
