This is the finished product, the cyber-reindeer card. I made minor corrections in Adobe After Affects to give this a more cinematic look.
Background elements, built as a single panel of chamfered pyramids.
This is the website banner. I tiled the reindeers with the background pyramids (because both elements, foreground and background were flattened.) I got lucky, and they matched up with little hassle.
This view shows the elements that I used. They're grouped (colored) according to their system.

Here's a few of the lighting passes that I used. Ambient occlusive, shiny, and a line shader pass. The Color pass isn't shown here, but it was mostly a flat color pass.

Futek | Cyber Reindeer Greetings Card

A 4x6 holiday greetings card for mass mailing. I also created a website banner for the client based on the design.

The modeling was done in 3ds Max, the rendering passes were done in Maxwell, and the post production in After Affects.
