Texturing and Lighting

a Product, Part 1

Chap te r 1

In this chapter

and Chapter 2, “Texturing and Lighting a Product, Part 2,”

you will texture and light a pair of headphones. This chapter, which contains part 1 of the
project, will guide you through the following steps:

Reviewing the scene file

■

Assigning materials

■

Creating lights and shadows

■

Applying textures

■

Raytracing reflections

■

In addition, important lighting and texturing theory is included as follows:

Material types and critical attributes

■

Hypershade functionality

■

Lighting techniques and Maya light types

■

Procedural textures

■

Scanline and raytraced rendering

■

Although many tutorials would treat a pair of headphones as a traditional still life,

this project approaches the scene as if selling a product. In the realm of business, a prod-
uct is a good or service that fulfills the need of a particular market. A product is often a
physical object a seller offers a potential buyer. Hence, the goal of texturing and light-
ing a product is to present it aesthetically so that a buyer might desire it. This requires a
unique approach to texturing and lighting.
