I built the mailboxes first using the 3D perspective tool. And then built the room around those. I used the perspective from the mailboxes to basically eyeball the rest of the shapes to get the 3D look. The only other objects that used the 3D tool are the countertop edges, the cabinet doors and handles. The rest was all about layers, gradient fills, and shadows.
This is a nice piece of work. I appreciate your sharing it with us. Thank you!
I'm curious...
You said "I built the mailboxes first using the 3D perspective tool."
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I've been noodling around recently with ways to make this process of creating scenes both accurate (in terms of perspective and proportion) and simple.
Any chance of a Screenr to show us how that works? =)
That would be so helpful if you could do a screenr demo for us!!! It is funny, I was looking for a mailroom setting the other day. I found something I could work with, but yours is so much better!!!
I would love to do a screenr! But it won't be a "screenr." Security settings on our system won't let me use that technology. *But* I can make a video and post it to youtube.
It may be later this week. We're busy trying to finish up a program that contains said mailroom, work out the kinks and get it beta tested.

Very nice.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Another background added to my course building toolkit... Thanks, Kevin!
What did you build that in? Looks like a 3D program....
Thanks!

All done in powerpoint.

Attached the ppt file.
Good grief that's amazing! Did it take you long to build Kevin?

Totally agree. I'd really like to see how you brought this all together. Again, nice work, Kevin!

That's awesome, Kevin! Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to the youtube vid
Kevin thanks so much for sharing!
I didn't forget about you guys.
Here's the link to the youtube video I did of creating the mailroom. I made the video weeks ago but just didn't get to posting it here until now.
Almost Friday!
So nice of you to take the time to show us how you created this. You must be an artist by trade or naturally. I don't have an eye for perspective.
Thanks so much for sharing!
