Had a great time creating this Italian-inspired pet food advertisement entirely in 3D. Every animal, ingredient, and prop features custom PBR materials to achieve a natural, premium look, with the final polish completed in Photoshop using matte painting, digital painting, and color grading.
 

Total production time: approximately 45 hours. Around 5 hours exploring composition, animal placement, and scene perspective. Followed by roughly 40 hours refining the mice and other animals, ingredients, lighting and environment. The final look was achieved through lens flares, depth haze, and a lot of adjustment layers.
