Tree Monkeys Maya, mental ray, Photoshop October 2009
I rediscovered this at the weekend, having previously abandoned it about a year ago, when I think I gave up on it as I couldn't get it to look however I wanted it to look. I decided that it was actually more interesting than most other stuff I'd done, so I spent a couple of hours finishing it up to add to my portfolio.
All of the elements were originally 3D but most of the background ended up being replaced with 2D stuff, as it was effectively acting in a 2D way anyway. Some of the details on 3D objects were added in Photoshop as well, like the stripes on the tree and dots on the blue fruit things, as it was much easier to tweak the composition this way.
