My thoughts on this project :
Creating this room was one of the hardest learning experiences that I have had in 3d design so far. I had originally planned on creating 3 rooms but that fell through for several reasons. The other 2 rooms are not uploaded at the moment but I do plan to get to them and upload some renders at a later date. I also really learned not to bite off to much work at once. This project really taught me to manage my time better and not get stuck on little things.
