| | Inspiration
One of my inspirations for this scene was from one of many pictures I did called “The Chosen One.” The scene revolves around the guy in the picture, telling the story of his one of his adventures. Story “I can hear with each pound of my heart…He comes closer with each cry I hear from the others…What to do…What to do………What have I done to deserve such punishment…He comes closer now…I must find a way to escap…” -Last words of a Dark Mage Before he was struck down by “Him”

| | Problems and Solutions
P: The objects and textures didn’t look realistic. S: I’d didn’t really solve this solution, I just made it mode 3-dimensional by boosting the bump map to 1400%.

| | Time Frame
It took about 7 hours to set the whole scene up. Positioning the objects to the right spot and not making it look like its float took some time doing, but it was done and it turn out fine; you can’t see that well in the dark to see the shadows anyways. I render plenty of scenes to see if the texture on the object was good or not, it also took some time; render about 20 shots, 10 to 30 second renders. What took most of the time was just lighting the whole scene up. Since I put three candle in the scene, I planned to use those lights as my only three light source and out of those three, one would be the dominate light (the red one). Fixing the light was hard because I never really had done anything complex for lighting before. But in the end I’d finish my scene, took about 15 minutes to render one shot. | |
