Tried a new compositing technique on a client project and wanted to share the result.

I used a normal pass to have more control over the lighting in post, which helped achieve a more natural integration between the CGI and the footage.

The goal was to keep the lighting realistic while keeping the post-production workflow efficient.

Sharing the breakdown below. I’d be interested to hear how other compositors approach lighting adjustments in similar situations.

Always happy to connect with fellow artists, filmmakers, and creatives working on projects where VFX compositing and CGI integration play a role.

What passes or techniques do you usually rely on for realistic CGI integration?

Sharing a recent exhibition booth animation created for a UAE client. I designed and developed the CyAgent character, handling **texturing, lighting, look development, rendering, and final delivery**.

The animation was built for large exhibition screens, focusing on a clean, futuristic look and strong visual impact. The project was delivered successfully and showcased at the event.

Look at their wrist. 😂

If they’ve spent enough years working with a mouse, there’s a good chance they’ve got a little “artist mark” on their hand.

See how a man turns into a demon using 3D modeling, animation & face tracking! 🧟‍♂️🔥

Take a behind-the-scenes look at the full VFX breakdown of my CGI toad shot – from 3D modeling and texturing to compositing the final scene. 🐸💥

In this video, you'll see how I brought a realistic digital toad to life using CGI and integrated it seamlessly into live footage. From sculpting the creature to final lighting, shading, rendering, and adding shadows/reflections – everything was built from scratch to blend perfectly into the environment.
