	Graduate
	This is a recoloration of the Graduate wallpaper. It was done to go along with Treetog's most excellent CopperDeck II theme.

Graduate

Here's a wallpaper that I made for the Graduate skin suite. It's sort of a combination of the old Graduate wallpaper (translucent red blocks), and the graphican wallpaper (3-D beveled blocks). I probably spent about two minutes on the modeling side of things, which is fairly evident! The blocks themselves are very simple, which is actually the way I wanted them to be. My goal was to make the piece interesting by spending the majority of my time on the texture for the blocks, as well as a subtle enhancement of the scene courtesy of the floor and 'walls'. I say 'walls', because there really aren't any in the scene - that's all done with Photoshop post render. The texture for the blocks is actually a mixture of about three different ones - a couple metallic textures with varying reflectivity and a glass-like texture. The result is sort of a translucent metallic material that I'm pretty happy with. I think that the block on the left in the back row is the most interesting.

	Aortal
	Your basic chrome/glass/reflection scene

	Cellophane
	This is a background for one of my WinStep themes. Kind of simple, but I like the pattern.

	Guitar Bridge Part
	This is a close up of one of the string clamps on the guitar's bridge. It's rendered with a lucite-like material which gives it a really neat effect.

	Guitar
	A rendering of my Ibanez guitar. I never finished it, but the part that you see here is done pretty well.

	Tissot
	A rendering of my Tissot watch. This looks great at high resolution.

	Tea
	A reflection experiment. It's supposed to be a scoop on a kitchen counter.

	Volcano
	An early height-field experiment of a volcano.

	Lights
	Notice the shadows - sort of like tic-tac-toe.

	Hilbert
	Hilbert Mathematical model

	Cabinet
	An early modeling/texture experiment of my bureau.

	Wooden Pot
	Just a simple pot to demonstrate a contrived (non-bitmap) wooden texture.
