Still Life Maya, mental ray, Photoshop January 2008
The objective of this class assignment was to model and texture a 'still life'. The finished composition was to include a few mandatory elements; such as an object of glass, a flower, and a fruit (an exotic fruit if possible; I chose a dragon fruit). The fruit, flower, and table have textured UVs, while the glass has a shader we learned and implemented in class. The entire scene was rendered with MentalRay with a three-point lighting setup. I initially had difficulty adjusting the many settings that you can adjust in the Render Settings, but enough trial and error, advice from the instructor, resolved the issues.
