Nice work on the lighting. Maybe the back wall makes the assets seem small. But i like the picture you created.

Hey thanks for the observation, it’s true. Here’s a better render.

Great, really improved and like the old posters in the back.

Agree w/ ARG3d - the antique parchment pages/diagrams on the raw stone wall give a sense of historical context, time scale as well as visual scale; the parchment on the table adds immediacy, as if the sorcerer had just been interrupted (?); the beautifully detailed gold chain hints at value, treasure (lead-into-gold). Great project. Do more.

How did you do for the labels on the bottles ?

Hey, thanks!
It’s just a subdivided plane with a shrinkwrap modifier. The image was done in photoshop based on alchemical symbols. The shader is a principled shader mixed with a transparent shader to give the jagged look on the edges of the paper. Greetings!
