Strawberries in Repose
Here is a small still-life I did on-off for about four days. It’s not perfect, but I think it still came out pretty good. I faced some interesting challenges, some unexpected: Maya / Mari / Houdini (Arnold). The seeds were…
Strawberry
Fun one week long project. Nothing too complex. Used a couple softwares/workflows I haven’t touched in a bit — XGen, doing final lookdev/lighting in Maya, and using Renderman. It was a good exercise. The topology is a mess as it’s…
