As an assignment, the brief was simply to model an environment, with a few wide criteria. I decided to create a throne room in an industrial-like style, which may fit into the 'steam punk' category. I designed the room from scratch, sketching out the two major perspective views and a plan view (in Photoshop), and modelled in Autodesk Maya to the design, with additional bolts etc. and detail, where logical or to add interest. As it was a modelling assignment, the final renders were still, occlusion render; with no textures or lighting etc. Some details would normally be done as texture if that were not the case.
