Virtual Environments - Superhero's Lair

The final project of the year was to create a superhero's lair using 3DS Max. The main problem occurred due to missing the first 2 seminars because of volcanoes in Iceland :/ I used online tutorials and seminar notes to try and teach myself how to use 3DS Max and toward the end of the project I became a bit better and more confident using it. Anyway, my lair includes many rocky based textures suggesting that it is set underground. The main feature is the 'Reactor Vessel' which i created a fiery atmosphere by using red lights and red stone textures around it. I used a mirror texture in 2 of the rooms to create a sense of space and eeriness. The most effective part of my lair, in my opinion, is the swimming pool. I created a water texture using reflection/refraction and raytrace maps and added lights, and a ball to the water to add a sense of depth and realism. The 3rd room consists of a sofa cause every superhero needs somewhere to sit, and semi transparent spheres representing planets. The song i used in the video is mewithoutyou - (A). I believe it fits the lair quite nicely.
