This scene contains a small gallery type building that has been designed and created to give us both interior and exterior spaces in which we can work at creating lighting, materials, camera composition, and so on, as well as providing a number of challenges that we will need to overcome as we move forward with our project.

We have also, by design, only populated one of the interior rooms in this building, leaving you free to add your own set dressing to other areas, using them to do your own exploration and experimentation with the concepts and tools that we will discuss throughout this project.
