3D shield

In Max i created a model of a medieval shield, complete with realistic lighting.

First i imported an image of a shield from moodle into 3dsmax. i placed the image onto a plane. Then i copied the plane without the photo, i adjusted the plane's vertexes to line up with the sheild, i also added depth to the plane to add a 3d effect by adjusting its control points. Next i added the texture by joining the mesh frame together and then taking it into Photoshop to add texture to it. By adjusting the levels and brightness/contrast i was able to add light effects to the shield as well as adding presence to the gilding. The end result is above.
