So called micro stocks is great place to find cheap but nice images or maybe just references for your projects. That’s where from this project begins..

It’s pretty often when complicated models could be easily built if you know the right way of doing it. From this part you’ll learn how to create models of a golf ball, tee and grass in just a few minutes.

Good materials is 50% of a great result. Let’s now cover models with them.

Lighting is the other 50% and in this part you’ll see how to imitate studio lighting in order to be able to compose render with photography.

The chapter where the rendered image becomes a part of the whole picture in Photoshop.

Post production process of the first image. 

New lighting scheme for the pure CGI picture with no composing.

Saving images with slightly different brightness.

Post production process of the second image. Final touches before the image could be considered done.

Now the real magic happens. Imitation of natural sunlight is a big deal and a huge part of CGI in the advertising industry.

A few more minutes of saving images before the post-production.

Final and probably most important part of the project. Everybody can see when the rendered object doesn’t seem realistic and when it does but only a few have certain skills to actually make the difference.
