VSFX_Project 2: Talking Animal (Open Box)

In this project, students will choose the object which has an open function, such as box, or door. Also, students will learn how to use projection texture, and use different layers to render. Then, put all of render images into the composting software.

I chose box to be my model, and take the photo to make a nice composition.


Next step is create the 3d model in Maya software, and use the projection texturing technique which let your model match with the photo.


Then, assign the texture to the box and put the modify model into several layers, which has shadow, specular, mask, occlusion and reflection, to render.


Finally, put all the render layers images into the Nuke software to do the compositing.


Final Image & Composite


This project is different from previous projects because it needs to move. Hence, we need to care about not only the texture, but also observe how shadow and reflection changing with lighting to make it look like a real box when lid open.
