This is my entry to the July 98 Imagine Rendering Competition. The theme for the competition was Metals and Checks.
I am happy to say that this image won first prize.

As with most works of art, this was not quite what I had pictured in my minds eye when I started. But I had to go with it due to a fast approaching deadline and a very long rendering time (I think I had a 450 MHz Pentium when I created this).

This is a second version of the competition image. It was more like the affect I wanted to achieve originally but due to the overheads of longer rendering times, I could not implement these changes until after the competions. The containers are now made of glass. To me this adds a lot more detail and realism to the whole scene.

This was an old time favourite game when I was a child. As you can see, it's a dedication to the game Mousetrap. This was one of my favourite modelling projects.
This is a work in progress although 3D modelling is on hold at the moment due to time constraints.

Building the objects for this image was an excellent learning experience, as each piece requires a new technique. Its a great way to learn how to use the modeller in a 3D package

I am planning on animating it in the future. I have decided to wait for the new version of Lightwave before doing so. That way I can use the project to 'test out' the new interface.

This is a rendering of an object I created when a friend of mine got into a 'Lost In Space' mood.
I put a fair amount of detail into the object and had have grand visions of doing an animation, but I haven't quite got around to doing that yet. For some silly reason my employer expects me to do programming work for him instead of playing around in 3D ....go figure!
