Hi everyone!
I'm looking for comments/critiquing on these two finished CG/photo composites. We have three of these cool chicken statuette things and I wanted to have a go at adding a fourth chicken. In both the photos the chicken on the far left was created in Maya 7 and remdered in Mental Ray. Texturing in Photoshop. I didn't use HDRI, just direct lighting and some Final Gather. They're straight renders too, on top of image planes. I thought if people felt I could do it convincingly enough I might do an animation of 'alive' chicken statues with a moving camera etc. Here's a wire image (haha, not very exciting though):
