This image was a study of modeling, lighting, texturing and render based on a concept form the art director Sergio Araújo. The intention was to produce a poster for the new Sweet & Spicy flavor, that's the reason for the peppers to be inside a classic chewing gum vending machine
I used Softimage XSI for modeling e lighting, Zbrush to generate normal maps for the peppers and metal pieces, Photoshop for texturing and post, and Mental Ray for rendering.

This was the setup on XSI, I used some round and rectangular area lights to get the best result.
Also added some white surfaces to bounce light and a HDRI image to have a more realistc reflection

And finally here is a comparison between the final composition and the original concept, I tried to get a hotter atmosphere to the image comparing to the original that has a cold attenuation.
Hope you like it!
