This is taking a photo of a pumpkin patch, and we will fill the gap with a modeled pumpkin from scratch. <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/bothpumpkins.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> First, I took photos of pumpkin under diffused lighting. Flattened skin in Photoshop, created seamless repeating pattern. I used photos of a squash for the stem texture. Flattened and removed seams again, recolored to a brown to match for an ideal stem. <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image1.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> I then created and textured the UV's on the 3D model. I polypainted the skin in mudbox/Zbrush directly onto the model. <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image2.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> I used desatured textures to diffuse and change the specular lighting later on <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image3.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> I created and painted bump maps to add effect on the skin. I also used some enhanced images of sidewalk cement to add grunge to the skin. <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image4.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Pumpkin ready for export into Maya <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image5.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Blocked out placement of mock pumpkins and haybail to simulate and match photo in scene <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image6.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> One example of connection for material skinning in Maya <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image7.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Blocked out sun, environment and bounce lighting using different colored directional, point, and spot lights. <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image8.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Rendered out multiple occlusion, specular, diffuse, and shadow passes <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image9.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Composite in AE <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/image10.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Final before and after <img class="alignnone" title="step1" src="http://www.kevincease.com/instructional/bothpumpkins.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="" /> Here is a basic step by step process that happens when trying to composite a 3D object in Maya with a photograph.
