Escena (Es cena)
This is a 3D scene (escena) of a traditional Bolivian dinner (cena). I did all the modeling, texturing, staging, lighting, and FX. I used mainly Maya for modeling, staging, and rending with Arnold. I used Substance Painter and Krita for texturing. I used Houdini to get the drink (chicha morada) and foam to look realistic. I also used Zbrush to model the arroz con leche (rice pudding in the bowl). I completed everything from September 2022 to December 2022.
Final image scene of traditioinal Bolivian food, rendered with Arnold in Maya.
Lighting experimentation 1 - I went with the feel of a family restaurant with warm lighting, this is the lighting setup I decided on, some other early models/texures are shown as well
Lighting experimentation 2 - I went with a dark backlit scene, reminicent to eating in front of a TV
Lighting experimentation 3 - I went with an early morning lighting setup
One of the beginning passes of the texture and model of the salteña (I burned this one a bit too much)
