Final harp as seen in Previewer, right before submission:

In-world screenshots:

Original screenshots of Gmax screen.  The texture is slightly more detailed than approved model, because no DDS compression was applied.  Also, the lighting effect (shading) you see here is a result of light rendering by Gmax.  I subsequently applied gmax lighting effects to vertex colors, which gave me the final shading as seen above in-world.

I wrote a tutorial describing vertex shading, a technique I used when modeling this harp.  It allowed me to produce a harp with realistic shading, while retaining the detailed texture.
