A fantastic asset created by Abi Taber that I lit.
The is a project I've been working on to familiarize myself with Arnold Rendered. I was inspired by this image of a Bathroom and decided to create it in 3D. I still have work to do. I'm missing the pussy willows and the toothbrush, and am still trying to match the composition, but the essence is there. No post-processing has been applied.
This Asset was created by Rafael Ortiz and I lit it.
Asset created by Isaac Zuren. Lighting and Rendering by me.
The Creatine Freak render was a freelance contract I completed as a proof of concept. The goal was to create a realistic looking image for product display on their website (background would be removed). Render was completed in Maya with Mental Ray Render Engine. No post-processing has been applied.
Grey ball Lighting Integration. No post-processing has been applied. Through the use of an HDRI, match the lighting provided from the reference image with Maya.
