"Cozy Living Room" - Render Exercise!

This was my first full immersion experience in rendering within Arnold, Maya's main render engine, a fundamental part of the creative process of 3D art during my BigRock journey!

After texturing the assets belonging to the project using Adobe Substance 3D Painter, I deeply dived into the practical part of rendering in Maya.

First of all, I started setting and customizing lights coming from an HDRI chosen specifically for the scene, using additional subordinate spot/point lights, in order to give a good brightness while maintaining good visibility of the textures, purposely made striking and particular, without losing the cozy and welcoming atmosphere of the framed living room.

Then, I set both the cameras for the render, using focal points and render layers to make the renders feel as accurate to the feeling that I wanted them to comunicate.

Hope you enjoy!
