2005 Fall ->3D Computer Modeling ->Galleries ->Desk Gallery ->Michael Miller Michael Miller   Desk Scene                     untitled   Inspiration When I first began drawing my desk scene I knew I wanted to make it different than everyone else’s.  I was browsing around the class website when I noticed another student’s project from last year was done in a space setting.  So I decided to make mine a sci-fi desk scene.  From there I just relied on my imagination.  Originally my idea was to make the scene look like it took place on an alien space craft.  But I wanted everything to resemble a very organic atmosphere.  I designed my desk to resemble a creature all in itself.  Then I wanted to place textures all around the room that would give it a deep sea feeling.  Unfortunately I ran out of time and could not perfect the lights lining my hallway, or put anything at the end of the hallway as originally planned.  I chose to make it look like the hallway just sort of went out into the atmosphere or whatever the viewer interpreted it as.

Time Frame I used all of my class time as well as somewhere between 6-7 hours of my own time on this project.  Unfortunately most of this time was spent attempting to render my scene!   References Glass tutorial- Josiah Koons Magic Bevel Tool- Jayme Ghisletta 2005 Fall Concept Design and Storyboarding 3D Computer Modeling Assignments Calendar Gradebook Syllabus Tutorials Galleries Desk Gallery Final Gallery Group Gallery Web Page Design Portfolio Video Game Desgin
