I recreated the photography of Francesco Cavallari who won 15th place at the 2017 Wiki Loves Monuments competition, the world’s largest photo contest resulting in imagery that is available to be used on Wikipedia and on any website for free by citing author and license.
Created in 3ds Max and rendered with MAXtoA Arnold in GPU mode using Imagers. The 4K render took just 10mins and included displaced geometry, depth of field and atmosphere fog.
I used Arnold RenderView and the PBR importer to great effect and efficiency.
