Work in Progress
 Houdini was used to create the shattering glass effect. A chunk of the monitor was loaded, and split into individual pieces. Each fragment emits a particle in a semi-random direction, then follows that particle. The effect is then saved to a series of OBJ files to bring into Maya (with the fileInterp.mel script). |

| The Floor. | This will serve as the base scene for all the animated shots. It took 8 minutes to render this.... |
 |
 |
| Partially textured & lit environment. | More of the same, with a few extras. |
 |
 |
| The face with color and specularity maps applied. Still needs adjustments, and a bump map. Ears, too. | |
 |
 |
| Two screenshots of the nearly finished models for the room. | |
 |
 |
| The first test render for the environment. A one hour keyboard / monitor / desk, modeled in Lightwave. | A shot of the main character, showing the low-polygon cage used to create the smooth surface. |
