The scene featuring Gandalf was a collaborative effort between my close friend, Ovidiu Enache, who crafted the Gandalf sculpture, and myself. Our vision revolved around crafting a setting to showcase the statue, leading me to design an imaginative museum-like room.
To bring this vision to life, I utilized Rhino to construct the display stand for the statue, while the rest of the scene was meticulously assembled in 3DS Max. The culmination was brought to life through the lens of the new finalRender 4.0, lending an exceptional visual depth.
For those interested, a timelapse detailing the evolution of the scene is available. Additionally, Ovidiu's timelapse, showcasing the creation of the sculpt, offers a fascinating insight into the creative process :
