Talking lemons…. this is what I had been working on during my stay at Conspiracao Filmes (2004/2005).
My job included lighting and animation but I also did the shading, textures and a little bit of rigging for 7 of those commercials together with a team of 6 3D artists
AND… my former Boss Gustavo Braga is going to do a Renderman for Maya presentation about those lemons on Siggraph 2006 at Pixar’s booth (Tuesday and Wednesday, August 1st and 2nd at 4 pm). So, if you are going to be there, go check it out.

I’ll soon be posting a reel with my work on those commercials… until then click below for more images.

This was my first attempt to reach a realistic render.
so, which one is the 3D? (don’t look at the wires).
