Hi Glen, for reference I used as many photos as I could find. Luckily I found a number of museum turn-around sets. I modeled it with polygons and nurbs. I build a rough draft with polygons, and then build a final draft using solid modeling, using the rough draft as a reference. Most of this was done ...

I build a rough in 3dsmax first, and use this as a reference when I model it in solidworks; I find that this helps me resolve geometry problems a little earlier in the process. I render them using max’s mental ray ...
