Integrating a CG image to Live Action. The goal was to "match" my CG object to that in a photo. I used Nuke to composite the different AOV passes.

Compositing in Nuke

In the Maya file, I generated multiple render layers, not just to align with the realistic object but also to enhance control in the Nuke file.

Additionally, to capture additional environmental bounce color and reflection, I incorporated a surface shader featuring a wood ground plane projection and a notebook cover image plane that I scanned the one in BG plate.
