-- This piece exhibits high-poly modeling and high-res texturing of a variety of objects, including furniture, architecture, rock, animal and organic life. My personal ambition was to create a secluded and mysterious space, inspired in part by the puzzle-solving adventure games I love best. It was also an adventure in experimentation, so as to expand my modeling and texturing vocabulary to the benefit of the classes I teach. The visuals were achieved in 3ds Max, with help from Photoshop (textures and glow) and Zbrush. Rendered with default Scanline renderer. --
