This 3D scene I created in Blender has become one of my most popular works surpassing a thousand likes on Instagram. I textured most assets in Quixel Mixer and also used free 3d assets from TurboSquid. I used the Blender addon fSpy to match the camera and perspective of the original capitol photo. I created and rigged the characters using Blender and Mixamo. I added volumetric lighting and cinematic techniques to bring everything to life.
