When making the texture for the backdrop and floor I used the offset filter in photoshop to make the edges blend seemlessly.
For all my other objects I used the Polygon>snapshot tool in maya to create the outline for my texture and then used photoshop effects like.
To create the turntable movie I followed this guide (http://www.jawa9000.com/Technical/turntable/turntable.htm) and then instead of using after effects I used photoshop to compile all the rendered images into a .mov file.
