So, as a warmup I modeled the box that's standing on the table in the lower left corner. And, right off the bat I'm stumbling upon quite unpredicted problems. The perspective of the painting is all over the place. There's no lens that would give me those angles... So the box looks slightly different, because it's weirdly deformed in the painting. If i'm gonna do it even remotely like in the picture, I'll have to render several passes and combine in photoshop.
Second thing, the lighting. The lighting is so wrong. I'm going to have to light everything separately, because nothing works here... Looks good, but is so totally unrealistic.
Also, I didn't think modeling a simple box with skull ornament will take me so long
rusty, rusty, rusty
Here's the screengrab:
I'm going to tweak it a bit yet - it should be a bit longer and flatter.
We'll try to find or make the accessories - I want the girl to be strictly photo. I don't think I'll be able to recreate them perfectly, but will do my best. For one - the model I booked for this shot is much prettier than the one Caldwell used for his painting
