Wine + Cheese at Flisch’s New House

Flisch welcomes his friends over to enjoy some wine & cheese as the sun sets at his new lakeside villa, which he does not call Honeyside despite its resemblance to the house of that name in Elder Scrolls!

NOTES:
This is not one of my favorite renders, but it was definitely one of the more challenging ones, for reasons I haven’t yet fully grasped. I love the idea of a “wine & cheese party” among such varied creatures, but I don’t like that they’re kind of hard to see. (Or maybe that’s just my failing eyesight!) I also can’t tell if the wine glasses are too shiny or if they look more or less plausible for a Firefly render? I was kinda expecting to see the wine in the glasses, but in most all I can see is the big shine! I may return to the idea at a later date. For now I want to come up with some simpler ideas!!

Rendered in August 2020 in Poser Pro 11 Firefly at 4000 × 2250 pixels, using direct lighting (one infinite light, six inverse-square point lights, and an IBL light) with Depth Cue atmosphere enabled.
