For this project I had to create two live action composition images. These are my two final images which turned out quite succcesfuly.
To do this I got a camera with a tripod to take the image for the back plate, I then took the same image again but with a cube in the shot, this will allow me to align the maya scene to the photograph. Then inorder to light the scene correctly using a chrome ball I wass able to create a HDR image that would capture the light information of the environment, this was then used in maya to match the lighting of the object to the scene. The process is shown below.
