Bells

I took a backplate photo of a bell with some blue things surrounding it, and worked on integrating a CG replica of the bell into the photo. Done in Maya 2018 and rendered with Arnold.

Breakdown

To create this project, I took photos with a Canon 5D Mark III camera. I made a clean plate, which consisted of my setup, with an empty spot where I wanted my modeled bell to be. I also took pictures with a cube, to help me determine the correct perspective for my Maya scene, a gray ball, to help me figure out the lighting better, and a chrome ball, to give me the reflections in my mug.

Texturing

I also used the camera to get a picture of the mug texture, which I adjusted in Adobe Photoshop.
