I modeled the objects with Bryce boleans or in 3DS MAX (much more convenient when it comes to mapping). The Lyra and the books on the shelves are freebies form DAZ3D, the roses from 3Dplants. Many of the things you see are Brycean terrains. I used photographic (or photorealistic) textures for the walls and combined them with some Brycean "dirt spots" in the Deep Texture Editor. As a matter of fact I got it almost too right - the spots are so much the same color as the stones that you can more sense than see them (hopefully you can sense them at all!). For lighting I used the Bryce Sun shining through windows and doors and added a round light in the lamp at the wall which gains some additional structure as it is shining from inside the hightly (but not completely) transparent ball of the lamp. You can see that fact better in the full-color-version. Plus 7-8 (or 9?) soft lights to brighten the interior up, otherwise it would be dark as night in many places. Works much better than screwing up ambient light in the material editor. Color adaptions and the light shafts are made in photoshop. I could have rendered them as volumetric lights in Bryce as well, but it would have taken about 48 hours instead of 8 minutes with no difference in result. (I learned about that trick in a comment on a picture at 3Dtotal.com - very helpful!) Comments are appreciated. Enjoy!
