2003-03-02 Lego Rally Van

A very old project I did to study photorealism. The modeling was pretty straight forward, I just grabbed the real Lego Rally Van I had and modeled it piece by piece in Max from the plans. Then I took a photo of my table and camera matched it on top of that. Then it was all about the materials and lighting. I remember I didn't use any plugins at that time, the lighting was done in, back then a new feature, Light Tracer, including the area shadows etc. After that, i rendered it out in several layers and comped it back together in Photoshop. It was fun :)
