My first material and lighting practice with Vray.
The main prop in this scene is actually just the lamp and this is actually just a material and lighting practice. I've decided to push it further to create a full scene to tell a story.

The story is about a man on his adventure to Atlantis to look for his lover and these are the props on his boat.

This piece is inspired by Faye Wong's song - 彼岸花 (Higanbana)

I've decided to try to layer up textures inside maya instead of painting texture by texture. I've used a lot of nodes in Vray as well as Maya default nodes. The textures are mostly tiled, I've use noise, VrayDirt, VrayEdge and other nodes to break up the tiled texture and to combine different materials. I hope you Enjoy it!
