Film Noir Scene Render

Another quick update, this time from the driver's seat of my car in the crazy midterm race. Today marks the beginning of (a hopefully productive) spring break. Before my last drawing studio and the drive home for a week of semi-relaxation this afternoon, I wanted to share another assignment with you all. In an effort to practice modeling, texturing, and lighting a scene in Maya, this piece was intended to be a replica of a frame from a film noir movie. I chose this scene from Borderline (1950)

I set out modeling the room and the elements within it. Then, using the Eleven rig (a resource so kindly provided by the 11 Second Club- check them out!) and posed the characters within the scene. Here's the final result:

Next up should be a similar piece, but in color! Stay tuned :)
