Props Costume Store

Hard Surface
Halloween shop display: a witch mannequin in a tattered dress beside a table with a carved pumpkin and a candle, bats and masks strung overhead on a rail.
A set of Halloween props built for a costume-shop scene. Some pieces were modelled from scratch, others were retopologised and cleaned up, then unwrapped and textured in Substance Painter. The final look was rendered in Maya with Arnold, and the background and atmosphere added in Photoshop.
The same display rendered without any post-work, on a plain dark background.
The raw Arnold render, straight out of Maya, before the atmosphere was painted in.
The scene rendered inside Substance Painter under flat lighting, showing the textures on their own.
The same set inside Substance Painter. With no atmosphere to help, the fabric wear, the carved pumpkin and the worn wood have to hold up by themselves.
A cheap plastic toy skeleton shown from the front and the back against a dark backdrop.
A plastic toy skeleton — deliberately cheap-looking, the kind that hangs in a shop doorway.
The scarecrow witch figure from the front and the back, in a pointed hat and layered cloth dress.
Front and back views of a bare branch strung with hanging bats and spiders.
A string of red and blue triangular bunting laid out flat on a grid.
The draped table with the carved pumpkin and candle, shown from two angles.
The full scene open in the Maya viewport, shaded in flat grey.
The scene assembled in Maya.
The Maya viewport showing the lighting rig, its lights and cones drawn in red around the set.
The lighting rig. Most of the mood comes from a single warm key inside the pumpkin and a cold rim behind the figures.
