Here's 2 pieces I finished this term. I wouldn't call them art per se, but they are sorta nice. And I poured my heart and soul into them. So no throwing tomatoes.

I think Brig might be sad that you are passing on credit for his work to others.
After all it was his heart and soul.
So was this a project that had a specific end in mind? Do you have your own thesis that you're working towards or are these still project based enterprises? Are you mainly working with relflections now? I dig the glass ball.
Another comment to add, Bruce just thought some joker put objects into a coloured box and was making fun of art. Interestingly enough, in drawing class we had what were called shadow boxes where we put objects into the corner of a cut open box and each side was painted a primary colour. We then drew the still life. It was an exercise in colour and shadow so this is very reminiscent of foundations drawing courses. It's also a way to teach people about composition.
Interesting. This is a classic test case for rendering algorithms, called the Cornell Box. The goal is of course to make it look as accurate as possible. The original was actually built and measured exactly with light sensors so they can quantitatively determine whether they got it right.
To explain what this was, basically it was a term project where I implemented a really new rendering method published this year to compare it with existing/standard techniques and identify any difficulties or errors in the original paper. Conclusion: it works, but the paper downplays the blotchiness that it produces and the problem of incorrect randomly bright pixels in images with specular (mirror-like) surfaces, unless you run it for a really long time to smooth them out. Either that or I did it wrong. Anyhow, some of the implementation details were unclear from that paper as well, and I explain in the report how to do it correctly. (It's not thesis stuff though, just a term project. As a rule of thumb, if it looks vaguely like a liquid, it's probably my thesis stuff.)
