Balcony

Normally my texturing is such an after thought if it even exists at all.
This is an experiment in realistic texturing and lighting.

I photographed all the textures myself, as you can tell from the half arsed tiling on some of the surfaces.

3ds max w/Mental Ray. Post production (colour adjustment) done in Adobe Premiere.

There is one main spot light off the balcony with area shadows and an omni off the scene to the right to give a bit of fill lighting. GI and Final Gather also used.
