Vault 2001 | Lighting and Rendering

Compositing study done for an assignment.

The goal was to take a modular set provided by the instructor (Matthew Broeska) and texture, light, render, and composite a single frame based on a reference image.

I decided to take a spin on 2001: A Space Odyssey and mix it with some Fallout reference (since I made a little Protectron awhile back).

Material creation was done using Maya with V-Ray materials and tileable textures made in Substance Painter. Final comp was done in Photoshop.

Thanks Jeremy Birn at http://3drender.com/ for modular assets.

Reference photo and colour palette.

I’ve never seen the movie, but liked the composition in this shot. Thought it would be fun to recreate.
