Pearls
This piece is from an old project, but stands well on it’s own as an illustration. Perhaps I could sell digital jewelry.
Software: Softimage XSI 5.0 (could have been 4.2)
Date: 2005
I’ve included the render tree for those curious how it was made. The secret to this render is not only in the render tree but is in the lighting. I used photography of pearls for my reference. I replicated the lighting and the format to the best of my ability. The pearls are set against a white backdrop to flood your eyes with light. A neat trick.
