420 Week 3:

On monday we needed to be 80% done. This means i needed to have most of my work on the grey ball done. In my last blog post I laided out the work i did to get to 80%. This leaves me with the last 20% of work i need to get done.

I started in maya and used the look dev work i did in week one to start off of.

Using this i started rendering out the differnet layers i needed and started merging the plates.

Shadow pass is show here. Thanks to work done on week 2 i could just change the file and the shadows worked.

Thank i went onto the object pass. I had to play with the AOVs a little bit but most of the work was done lasy time.

Most of my time was spent on getting the shadows on the object correct. I kept on running into a white line problem and a highlight from my key light not going away. I was able to fix the white line but not the highlight due to time. I hope to fix that before week 4.

Here is my breakdown.

Model is from Megascans

Overall I'm happy with my work but it could be better and i plan to spend sometime this weekend doing that.
