Making of Cheese Platter by Hau Ming (Jamie) Li, USA

Hi, my name is Hau Ming (Jamie) Li and this will be my first tutorial so I will try to explain how I did this Cheese Platter the best that I can.

I created this Cheese Platter using Autodesk Maya 8.5 and Adobe Photoshop. It is actually a photo concept derived partially from the image on right.

Originally, I was told to create this based on the original reference, but I feel the point of Shading and Lighting is to show off your texturing skills and give it better lighting if possible. As you can see, the lights are overblown in the original picture. So I added more stuff like blue cheese, cheese cubes, brie cheese, almonds and crackers to make it busier and at the same time, make it look like a painting.
