Nathan Harling Desk Scene
 Accident Desk 
Inspiration

I got the idea for the desk from looking at the dictionary definition for “desk.” The examples were “reference desk” and “help desk,” which got me thinking: what kind of desk would you never expect to see? People go to a help desk for help and a reference desk for reference, so where would they go for an accident?

References

My textures came from Lightwave’s included content as well as the website: http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/texture, and invaluable resource.
 
The book Texturing in Lightwave 8 was also very helpful.
 
I also learned a lot from my housemates, who all have Lightwave experience far greater than mine.
