My part of the work was to create and put in frame background lighting, color and patterns. Katya is now creating 2d character elements that will be include into the 3d render. This part is in wip and will be updated on this post once it's done.

The technical challenge of this illustration was to find a way to transfer and use 2d patterns into a 3d environment by transferring colors and lightings from 3d onto 2d patterns.

For this, I used custom c++ shader for Arnold and custom c++ maya tools for creating background in a procedural way. All of the tools used here is part of a custom maya/arnold plugins that I am working for months. :)

Hope you like it ;)
