Revisited - MUSC NURĀSANA | MAISON CRIVELLI

This is a collection of experimental renders meant to revisit an earlier spec project I did this 2026 as a way to work on my CGI art directing and lighting skills.

The first render is dedicated to working on art directing. I went back and to my Musc Nurasana project that I did earlier this year, since I liked that one, and I wanted to work on a still shot that represented the fragrance a lot more. Musc Nurasana was about the experience of early morning, and so I wanted the color palette for lighting to reflect that.

I wanted something more minimalist leaning, so I was playing around with moving objects in the scene until I got what felt represented the airiness, light, and relaxing inside feeling you usually feel (or at least I do) in the very early morning, so the bottle balancing on the cap felt just right. The lighting colors & contrast in the scene are meant to emphasize on this while pretty much drawing the eye onto the subject (the perfume) while also creating a very nice-to-look-at shot with how the warm and cool shades of light fill the scene. After which I brought the render to Adobe Lightroom to make the colors pop and also added a subtle film grain since adding the grain helped get the final look & feel I had in mind.

The remaining 2 renders pretty much just experiments with lighting & material realism.
