An exercise in the use of global radiosity as well as an effort towards photo-realism. I was really trying to work towards real skin texture, as well as, create a little unity beween the dappled textures in the painting and the freckles on the figure's skin. The painting is an altered photo of my garden gate used as an alpha plane with bump mapping, and the matte and frame are made of boolean cubes. Only two lights--an overhead quadratic spot, and a soft quadratic point light above the camera.
