This was rendered in Blender 2.79b in the Cycles engine, taking 42:06.64 to render at 211,907 vertices and 204,244 triangles at 1024 samples.
There was a ton of experimentation with the materials and lighting and not to mention the sculpting for the various items and the whole project took me about 5 hours and 19 minutes to create in whole. I hope you all enjoy this picture if you can, feel free to give me any constructive feedback or ideas. I’d really appreciated it. :)
The pony models used created by these users and not by me:
kp-shadowsquirrel, poninnahka, juicedane, aeridiccore
…and all credit to making the 3d models go to them.
