January
The first image I created was the Winter scene. I thought of what I could include and the obivous thing everyone would think of in Winter is of course snow (although it seems to be rare these days). While creating this image it woke me up to how detailed 3D Studio Max really is, and how many functions I still havent used after completing this project. I enjoyed creating the water as it really made the image stand out, although it is evident that this was my first attempt, just by looking at it.

July
Secondly, I created the Summer scene. The first thing which came to mind was the beach and holidays, so I tried to incorperate these into one image by creating a set of small Islands. I thought this image looked the best of the three as it has a lot of bright light and clouds which really reinforce the fact that is a summer scene. I feel I could improve on the sand a bit, as if you look closely you can point out where the maps overlap. Also, I would like to have included an object such as a deck chair or sand castle to imprint a strong image of 'Holidays'.

September
This was the last image I created, and this is the one I struggled with the most for ideas. The thing that the majority of people would think of is falling leaves, especially since in America, autumn is widely regarded as 'Fall'. This then gave me inspiration to create a scene with leaves and trees in. I am quite pleased with the final result, although I would like to include actual falling leaves from the trees, if i knew how to produce this.

To conclude, I was quite proud of the images I managed to create, and feel I know a lot more about 3D Studio Max now. I also think I could probably consider any task set to produce using the software, as most of the basic and most used functions I got to grips with quickly during the period I used the software. I found tutorials on the Internet very helpful to me as this fits my style of learning, because I prefer to figure most things out by myself with only prompts.
