Final Render

I adjusted the color of the flower to match the color of the pillow, ensuring coherence. Additionally, I corrected the overlapping areas on the book and the sofa, which resulted from the rotoscoping process between my clean plate and the background plate. Furthermore, I refined the reflection to reduce its brightness. I assigned a new shader for the edges of the box to enhance its appearance. Finally, I increased the AA setting to eliminate the noise present on the box previously.

Use ID mask to separately adjust the color on the different areas of the box

camera tracking in Nuke

At first, I was trying to use just a card to match the box, but it is not enough to allow accurate tracking. So, I added a card for the box lid afterward.

I added the axis for those points, which are accurate for each frame, to improve the accuracy of the tracking.

add a box in Maya to match the cards

I encountered the issue that my box is not at (0,0,0). What I should do is rotate my camera to match the box at (0,0,0). However, when I rotate my box or the lid, the pivot point goes wrong.
