Brilliant

Can't really add much more. Great choice of subject and perfect materials and lighting.

Did you use HDRI for lighting, or did you throw in some emitters?

[massimo]

Thanks Tadema & David.
David, I've used a HDRI by Debevec called "Ennis Brown" which suits quite well for this kind of subjects/materials. Anyway emitting planes are also very good for this kind of scene since you can have more control. Then I've placed the lamp in the screen you see in the picture below quite near to the wall since I wanted to see some light projected on the wall in the centre of the image.

Finally I'm glad you like the mats: the plated brass is made with a stacked brass&gold nk mats using a grey map with stains in weights in order to have a subtle transition between the two metals in some parts.

Great work....as usual

Ah, the ever reliable Ennis scene

Sounds like a good use of materials.....I just knew you had done something interesting in the mix
