For my Art History course, I had to recreate a museum piece in a digital medium. Using public domain photographs I constructed orthographic reference and a texture. I modeled, UV'd, textured, lit, and animated the asset. Rendered with Arnold. Attached is a breakdown of my process as a YouTube video.
