10.00am – I’ve came to the office. Unfortunately the office is still not open.

Around 10.20am – Ms Winny informed me by phone that Mr Micheal is on the way to the office.

Around 10.40am – Mr Micheal came to the office. After Mr Micheal open up the office door, he then give me the key card so that I can use it when I want to go out for lunch.
I then continue working on the castle scene.

Around 11.00am – Mr Micheal go out from the office.
To increase realism in my render, I try to render a Ambient Occlusion pass, where it creates a grayscale output that is dark areas where light cannot reach while bright areas where it can.
This requires me to override all the object material into Ambient Occlusion material. Thanks to mental ray, this was easy as there is a function called material override where I just put the material I want, and all of the object will use the requested material.
After final checking, I then hit render.

I then turned on my next desk computer to continue on other things while the render running on my PC.
Around 1.30pm – I go out to lunch.

Around 2.10pm – I’m back to the office.

The render are still running. On the other computer, I search pictures for my castle door reference.
Around 5.00pm – I start building my castle door. Just like the castle itself, I use loft and Boolean method to get the shape that I want. I continue looking at the reference picture while building the door.

Around 7.30pm – Ms Winny dismiss me by phone. They still didn’t back to the office yet.
