 The mentored image:


The props used in this image are all photo scanned and using photogrammetry put on 3D meshes. The shelf was re-scaled to fit the pumpkins. There is just one original pumpkin, the others are its smaller versions, rotated. The table had different wood before, I changed it to the one I liked better. I chose a butterfly that matched the colors of the still life, it is animated and it can fly in a game or video. The background is the 3D scanned grass.

There are 3 lights - natural light of late afternoon and two point lights. One point light has a slightly yellowish color to bring more warmth to the still life.

The camera is full frame with 85mm f1.8 lens and manual focus.

The dog, the chick and the drunken penguin (it came on the boat) were there just to keep me company ;)

I made the setup from existing components, most are freely available to the users of the Unreal Engine software. There are 61 items in the setup:

That includes lights, fog, cameras, grasses and foliage :)
