Crushed Mother
Final Composition
The final render of the crushed can of Mother.
Backing Plate and Reference
The Backing Plate was used to layer the rendered can onto in the compositions, and the photo with the can was used for reference in getting the reflections as close as possible.
Image Maps
Label Diffuse, Metal Diffuse, Normal and Specular maps were all used on the can model. The metal areas were separated from the label so they could be altered easier.
Environment Maps
The initial environment map (and Envball shader) was incompatible with the Arnold shaders, and as such I had to re-photograph the area to create a new environment map. The end result was achieved with lots of photo stitching and the polar coordinates filter in Photoshop.
Compositional Elements
By combining these five elements in order (Reflection, Shadow, Diffuse, ZDepth & Ambient Occlusion) and adding various nodes to do with blur and colour correction I was able to create the final render.
