This is a self project that I created to explore more of Autodesk Maya especially in modelling, texturing and lighting. My goal was to create realistic looking drums.
Some of the problems include modelling the irregularly shaped drum hoop, mapping of textures on to the drum shell and also mapping the logo to create a bump effect.
I have also explored the potential of image based lighting in this scene.
References included what I found from the internet and also my own experience with drumming. I visited my local Guitar Center to snap photos of parts for me to model.
