Hi Folky Folks!

Happy New Year! This was one a project that took a number of different stages.

This project started in Maya and was created for a modeling class.

I textured the boxes, Christmas tree, floor and floor.

Then, at the last minutes I decided to add alphas to create a more realistic look to the leaves of the tree.

But it got a bit crazy with +200 alphas so I didn’t think it would transfer over to Soft Image very well

But it actually transfered over just fine.

I created the lighting in Soft Image, and then created a new floor and walls (and fireplace).

Additionally, I had a great time creating the glass and bottles for this shot. The details can’t be seen with this wide shot, but I loved applying reflection to the table.

Wishing you a happy new year!
