    Default Box for the Loft

    Putting books up in the loft.
    Mind you, in other countries, it might be the cellar or the basement that gets used.

    So, what would you put inside the box, to put away?!
    Let's see what you plan to hide away!

    And, don't just say that it's inside the box.

    That is really cool Rik, it is so simple just a box but so great. Well done. I love the books at the side, nice composition.

    The box? Or the parrot?

    By the way Rik, that's an excellently rendered box and I would have put money on that being a 3D rendering. Really good work. Your place in the TG Hall of Fame is assured (if only you could be a little more Sirius)

    PS. the books look like they should be passing a shadow onto the side of the box. My eye doesn't like the bright cardboard colour where there should be shadow.

    PPS. this could, of course, be a problem with my eye, and not the image
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

    Mr S's cat...

    yes it's a nice box Rik, very box-like - sadly the loft access where we live at present is directly above the stairwell rendering it inaccessable to the likes of me who do not possess the necessary kind of ladder equipment

    Thanks for your comments guys.

    I don't have a 3D programme so had to try and imagine how things would be.
    I might get a box and put under a light and see how things should be!

    The books were dead easy to do with the Extrude Tool.

    It was the interdimensional plasma field between the books and the box that must have been difficult. As we all know, interdimensional plasma fields are invisible but prevent shadows passing through them (which is how we know they are there, a bit like vampires and mirrors)...
