escue on a Desk

Rescue on a Desk is one of the first modelling projects I did for University. Before this, I had only mucked around casually with 3dsmax. This was done entirely with Maya 8.5.

So we were essentially told to make something that makes sense in the real world. But we also had to be creative. So I made this crazy thing featuring toys on my desk.

This was a very big jump for me from what I had previously done in 3dsmax. Heck, it was the first time I've rendered something with textures. I also experimented with the Mental Ray renderer for the glass in the background.

Unfortunately, the depth of field effect I applied washed out a lot of my modelling. Toad (the thing down the bottom with the mushroom head, please don't sue me Nintendo) has really nice hands (another first), but you can't see them at all. Still, I'm fairly happy with the way this came out.
