Summer Palace

I modeled this 3D Persian palace in Maya using orthographic image planes as reference. Textures were modified from free online sources, and the garden elements are photographs taken by myself and applied to surface planes in Maya. Lighting was generated in Maya, and the scene rendered out as a still image. Post-render editing finished in Photoshop, which included adding the cloudy sky backdrop, tree leaves, stream of light on the right side, and the birds and butterflies with custom brushes.
