I finished the still life from my last post and then went ahead and did some post work in Fusion. All the major elements in the scene were rendered out on separate render layers in Maya. At first render layers seemed like a lot of work, but after setting them up the benefits are awesome. As always if you have any questions about the work flow feel free to leave a comment or email me. For those hoping to see pastries in the foreground… I’m sorry. I didn’t have enough time to give those croissants the care they needed. GG pastries in Mental Ray. GG.Below are my rough draft and raw render along with the final image. Next time I do a light setup I’m going to try and use the light fog in Maya instead of relying on Fusion. This is the first time I’ve ever used film grain in post and I think it may be a little heavy handed, but in my defense shooting in that low light would give you some strong grain.
