We had six GCI tasks to model the individual letters of "BRL-CAD".  Combine them into one model and render the completed scene.

You'll have to manually model the dash.  As all of the letters were modeled with different material properties, you may need to model a ground plane ('half' primitive) to see them but the goal is to compose together a "scene" that is visually interesting.  Just lumping all the letters together isn't going to cut it.
