Well, a friend of mine (from Canada) had his birthday yesterday. Since I’m not too interested in sending a CD over there, I just did this simple render. It took me only about 2 hours, and most of the time was spent deciding what to do. But I think he’ll get a laugh with this…
Funny. The reflection on the plate looks strange. Lighting could be better. But I think for 2 hours this is not bad.
