Previously I associated 3DS Max mainly with architectural imagery and gaming design, but there are many more possibilities than that. Some time ago, I got interested in painting and fell in love with some still life works from the past. One of the main themes in such paintings was mortality, so I decided to play a little bit with available resources and create an image with a similar, mysterious feeling.

Many models are 3D scans of real objects (in this project I mainly used assets from the Virtual Museums of Małopolska, available on Sketchfab - highly recommend!). Lighting was extremely important in this particular image, as my goal was to achieve some kind of dramatic look with strong lights and shadows, and some parts were supposed to be in complete darkness.

I'm more than pleased with the result, and I hope you enjoy it too!
