This week we started our second project. This project is about shading and compositing objects that have transparency and translucency. We got to pick out a rock to recreate, the rock I chose looks a lot like aventurine but I not completely positive if that is what it is.
I started by taking pictures for my backplate. Unfortunately it was raining on the day I had the camera so I had to take my pictures inside. I used the integration kit and got all the pictures I needed with the chrome ball, grey ball, and cube. I also took a picture of my stone in the environment.
After that it was just a matter of setting up my scene. Since my ground plane is a window sill I had to model some geometry so that the shadows will fall correctly.
