This is everything I did in 3D 4. We were to model a character, a vehicle, and an environment, and animate all of them interacting for about twenty seconds. I only had about two weeks to make each part, then a week to animate and a week to render. It was a challenge, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
Time constraints prevented me from rendering at a higher quality, that's where the "pulsing" effect comes from. This already took 80 hours just for rendering, while school was in session, and our renderfarm was down this quarter. I'd like to eventually expand the scene and re-render at a much higher quality.
The ultimate goal (other than getting this done for class), was to have a lit scene all put together and functional, that I can put future car models in to render. I also wanted to model my dad's Durango!
