Two Fishing Lures that I made in 3D from looking at references from Rapala: fishing lures. All textures were made by scratch in Photoshop CS3.
I was going for photo realism that could possible be put into an ad in a commercial or magazine. The body and lips are made with nurbs and the hooks and rings are from splines.
I was going for the late afternoon look with the lighting and a newer office feel with the materials applied. I learned a great deal about lighting during this project and used mia_materials for all the textures.
Programs used: Maya 2008, Mental Ray with Final Gather and Global Illumination, Photoshop CS3
