Reflections Study

Maya

This animation stemmed from my fascination with light reflections and colored glass. The way light reflects on certain items can be so mesmerizing and most of the time it happens it occurs naturally. Through Maya I was able to simulate the reflections any way I wanted. The part of this project that took the longest was finding the right material for the chandelier pieces. I was able to learn extensively about Arnold materials and attributes, the attribute settings made the most difference in the overall look of the pieces. The simple animation of rotating the chandelier pieces makes the video more interesting by making the reflections on the walls and floor dynamic.
