This is a 3D illustration created in Maya. The goal of this project was to create a 3D version of a painting by Jean-Baptiste Oudry.
Sorry for the incredibly long title – that’s the name of the painting I based this 3D scene off of:

The painting is a still life of the items listed in the title of the painting.](https://i0.wp.com/amandamorrisonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Still-Life-with-a-Violin-a-Recorder-Books-a-Portfolio-of-Sheet-of-Music-Peaches-and-Grapes-on-a-Table-Top-Reference.png?resize=1024%2C791&ssl=1)
The goal of this project was to recreate a painting in 3D, here’s how it turned out:

The models are a violin, some peaches, some grapes, a book, a recorder, and some sheet music.](https://i0.wp.com/amandamorrisonart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Still-Life-with-a-Violin-a-Recorder-Books-a-Portfolio-of-Sheet-of-Music-Peaches-and-Grapes-on-a-Table-Top-Render.png?resize=1024%2C791&ssl=1)

We were supposed to match the texture of the painting, so for portions of the models I was recommended to use the painting itself for the shader. I’m not a fan of the effect it had on the piece, but I did like the modeling itself
We also made stylized versions of our renders:

That about covers it, I was pretty excited to make the violin, but the paper gave me such trouble with the texture
