I've been doing a research assignment for uni based on environment and sustainability issues - nah, its not as fun as it sounds... :oP and my project is based around the wasted fresh-produce containers that are never properly recycled.
Its more detailed than that obviously - like where we have to do a "Life-Cycle-Assessment" or LCA which involves assessing EVERYTHING that is involved with the product. Leading from type of plastic, to the detergent used to wash the boxes!
For those playing at home: Life-Cycle-Analysis gets even more detailed - down to the precise impact of the exhausts from the machines that would originally make the plastic pellets to make the box, or the required resources to keep the staff of the companies funtioning during lunch etc.
Either way, we had to design and model-up our product. Now my project was slightly knocked about by the introduction of the new Coles system (which is really, really good) so it looks kinda similar, but you probably wouldn't have known that anyway. :o)
Here is the latest rendering, its not quite finished yet, some details still need fixing up inside it...but it was a challenge to do. The plastic finish has come up really nicely.
The "3D environment" i have this box in has 16 focused spotlights and you'll notice in the close up picture how 3D Max reflects every single one! Clever stuff.....
click on them to make them bigger, then they look better... :o)

That's very cool. Good job.
I love the reflections on the floor too, you obviously have great software.
Now, can you make me a toybox for Dayne's room, that automatically picks up all the toys from the floor and puts them all back in the box????
Hee hee
Perhaps i could make one out of all the toys on the floor?! then that would solve everyones problems...
thx
