This is probably my most ambitious project since \*Mystical Graveyard\*. It is a fairly large environment packed with an immense amount of detail and a strong emphasis on realism. The scene is optimized to the fullest extent possible; rendering a single 2K frame at 1024 samples takes 10–13 minutes and uses 6.5 GB of memory on an RTX 3060 mobile. I am thrilled with this project—it turned out exactly as I had envisioned!
