For my Endterm 1 project, I created a CGI scene combining live-action footage with 3D animation. The scene features WALL-E interacting with a custom-modeled LEGO radio.
I modeled and textured the radio in Autodesk Maya, focusing on realistic materials, lighting, and reflections. The animation was integrated into a photographed environment using camera matching, HDRI lighting, and shadow integration.
Finally, I composited the rendered elements in Nuke to achieve a seamless blend between CGI and the real-world environment.
