Description

This image is the visualization of a joke which was going on between my girlfriend and me for a while. Both studying musicology we and a few other guys were on our way to an excursion to the Abbey of St. Gallen (Switzerland). Due to a little mishap we could enter Switzerland only for a few meters before we had to return, because one of our Chinese students had forgotten his passport and we didn't want to leave him at the border. But that's a whole other story... Some time after that we came to think, that it would be kinda funny if there was something like a Swiss Single Malt Whisky. So, we simply called it "St. Gallen's". When I was looking for a little project to do, this idea came back to my mind, and I thought "why not make a little scene of that?" And here it is! Modelled and rendered in Blender with its internal renderer. Kind of a simple light setup with a soft point light for the key and a dimmed spot to brighten up the scene a little from the left. Furthermore I used aproximate AO set to a pretty dark brownish-red color to support the overall mood of this image. Textures (well, the ground tiles and the label) were made with the GIMP. A HDRI map (apt-probe) was used for the reflections. Hope you like it! C&C very welcome.
