Enter the Vector

Prior to the final render process, Paul Sinclair discussed with me the possibility of using a Vector render in Maya. He showed me how to change the settings in the render globals, and I was able to experiment with the vector render.

The Vector gave the drums a much flatter, 2D feel, which would compliment my film considerably better than a straight render.

For the final render, I used an area gradient with medium highlights and reflections, with a black hairline edge.
