Description
Two passages diverged in a greenish cavern,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one troll, long I stood…
I may be standing there still.
(with apologies to Robert Frost!)
==NOTES==
As so often happens, I had an entirely different scene in mind when I loaded this cave set and started playing with it. I’d played with it before and found the layout to be useful for a variety of situations, but I couldn’t come up with materials I liked, whether texture-based or procedural. This time I was inspired by the preview thumbnails to try putting high intensity inverse-square point lights at the ends of several passageways, with no other light source, just to see what happened. And what happened was kinda cool! So I put the troll in there, added a low-intensity IBL so he could at least see his own feet, and then left him to ponder which passage to take.
Rendered in July 2020 in Poser Pro 11 Firefly at 4400 × 2475 pixels, using direct lighting (four inverse-square point lights and one low-intensity IBL) with Depth Cue atmosphere enabled. View full size on my blog.

Well, it looks like he is the first to encounter this dilemma, since there are no other bodies there that couldn't make up their minds either! LOL! A splendid image! Nice result!

The two paths look amazingly like eyes to me.Especially the way you lit them. There might be something there to play with.
You did a fine job with the caves. I have that set and it is fun..

They totally look like eyes, like the poor troll is stuck inside someone's skull and is trying to figure out which eye to head out through! Definitely some interesting possibilities there :-) The cave set is a freebie on ShareCG, so your bug hunters can play in it too!

I spy with two of my eyes - two more eyes looking at the troll. Cool image!

Confused on his part on what path. Cool atmosphere.

Is it right is right and lefty is loosey? And then the choices beyond the first. Is the light up ahead the refrigerator? or an on-coming train? Our poor troll is going to be late for work and his contributions to the Troll Toll will be over due.
Superb render!

The smart move would be turn around and get outta Dodge... She made the entrances to look like eyes on purpose to see if we are paying attention. If it's unintentional I don't believe it lol

Like this one. Nice color . The troll could just flip a coin, if trolls have coins.....
