Description I haven't worked with 3D for a year or two now but I just started working on a project at work so I thought I'd try to shake some of the rust off with something simple.

Anyway, this was a pretty simple scene. I made Ms. Pacman by extruding basic line shapes and everything else was basic shapes. Most of the time on this was spent making sure Ms. Pacman's vertexes were aligned to each other and making the materials.

The original is 1600x900 pixels so makes a nice wallpaper!

Created in 3D Studio Max, no post editing.

I did this on a Saturday. I had to do 24 hour staff duty (i.e. watch a desk all day) so I spent my afternoon making this. At least I got Sunday off! Hrmmm... :/

You touched my Pacman nerve center with this one. I've been a fan of Ms Pacman since the time when Bill Gates was happy with 640kb of RAM.
The idea here is awesome. To have a nice 3D render of the Pacman world always attracts me. And the pixelization of Ms Pacman is great. The dots are nicely rendered, although they don't match the roughness of Ms Pacman, but it's alright. One thing I found less attractive were the reflections on the floor - they just don't seem to match the position of the dots nor Ms Pacman. Having an enemy lurking nearby would also be nice, but let's not be mean.
As you said, this was just a quick exercise to shake off the rust. So I say congratulations. Very well done.
More please!

Yeah, I'm super rusty on my material editing

The walls and reflections weren't exactly how I wanted them.

Yeah, it didn't come out exactly how I wanted. I still need to brush up on my material editing.

I like this! A combo of classic looking video gaming and nice 3D touch

Thanks! That's kinda what I was going for. I didn't want to go full on sphere with Ms. Pacman.
