This is my first render using Arnold and was finished at the beginning of 2014. Although it was a personal project, I broke everything in passes and organised my workflow as much as possible. The objective was to try to simulate a professional working environment.

 

This later proved to be valuable experience as it allowed me to seamlessly integrate into Framestore's pipeline and working methodology.
