"The Lighting and Camera'

Placement of all elements

These items are placed in a way to make sure the scene lights reflect the items in the final renders correctly and have shadows drop in a certain way to complement the scene!

The Light Placement

A Spotlight: to reflect the best part of the Sword and Anvil

A Moon light: to shine in as if its late at night

A Point light: to make extra area lighting in the place its needed without obstructing the shadows and elements in the main scene!

The Camera Placement

The Assets

The Sword

Description

A Sword Forged with Steel and garnering a Damascus finish and a copper pommel and guard with leather dried and tanned only from the finest cows to create this masterpiece of craftsmanship which can only be forged together by only a heavily revered

and skilled blacksmith

This sword was most likely crafted for use of someone of very high nobility or of royal blood to be seen adorning and unsheathing it while going into many glorious battles!

The Anvil

Description

A rusty old anvil that's probably been used probably for more than half a century to make

armor and weapon!

This one has probably been battered and bruised from its use by the last 2 or 3 generations blacksmiths who handled it with little care for its current state of repair, and probably just wish to dispose of it after its no longer of use to them!
