Eden:

Heres a really old scene of mine,Which i made with 3dstudio Max 4.0,long before i started using maya,i used Brazil to render one of the image,the difference is hardly noticeable though, as only indirect illumination was turned on for that render,but most of the lighting was done with default lights,and rest were rendered with the scanline renderer,This was more of a lighting and texturing exercise for me,so nothing much in terms of modeling, as i have kept it pretty simple here.
