Still Life Render

This project is created for my mini-project component in year 2 at Media Design School. We're required to create a still-life render from a photograph that we took on our own. I took the photograph at MDS photo studio and then measured the headphones and book to get a precise scale for modelling in Maya. For the displacement map, I did it using ZBrush. I did the surfacing/texturing with Redshift in Maya, Substance Painter, and Photoshop. I rendered the scene with Redshift in Maya. I did the lens distortion and colour grading in NukeX.

The narrative of this project: The bookworm lays in bed with their book and headphones, ready to immerse themselves in the stress-free serenity of story and music after a long day as a university student.

This project is created for my lighting and rendering component in year 1 at Media Design School. The 3D assets in the scene are provided by Media Design School and I'm only responsible for the surfacing/texturing, lighting, and rendering. I did the the texture with Substance Painter and Photoshop and render it with Arnold in Maya.
