Blender 2.8, Cycles. Blender was the only program used aside from some very minimal post production in Photoshop.

i really like your lightning, how did you did it ? Sun lamp ? Hdri with portals ? Multiple flat lamps ?
Thanks! The lighting setup is basically this:
-
3 area lights. More or less 3 point lighting. Area lights vary in size and strength. The largest is my “fill light” at the front of the scene. There is a transparent image of a tree branch silhouette between the window and the top right area light acting as a “gobo.” This is very subtle and breaks up the light. Arguably unnoticeable.
-
1 sun lamp coming through the window. This is for some harder shadows. (Size is around 2" with the scene to scale.)
-
An emissive plane wrapping around the scene. This gives off little to no light and is mostly for the scenery outside the window.
-
An HDRI environment from HDRI haven. Strength of the environment light was dropped down to .1. This was a final touch as most of the lighting was done by hand.
Biggest help was having good reference photography to measure my image up against.
I found light portals to do very little good when it came down to it. Still, I would consider adding them in.
