This artwork, which for now has the working title "The Vessel", originated from a combination of ideas. I want to look how decent of an endresult I can get without using any post-compositing, Trying to commit myself to solely use Houdini. Rendered in Mantra. Yes, I have no deadlines! Isn't that great or what!

This particular render was done last week.

Next version of "The Vessel". I added improvements to the room geometry, added some atmospshere to the room and used different lighting.

Looks good so far, I love the atmosphere.
Try throwing polyBevel on those extrusions/boxes.
