This is a night scene I did for a time change poster. The time change poster is an idea I had several years ago for a project to give me practice with Blender. This is version 3 of it (I think) done with Blender + Cycles to 500 samples + Blender Internal (for volumetric lighting) + GIMP
Big thanks to Bartek Skorupa for the compositing tutorials and Jonathan Williamson for the Architecture Visualization course and the Mastering Modeling Workshop. The workshop mainly influenced the lamp and the clock as the rest of it was pretty much already modeled before the course began. But the compositing tutorials really helped cut the time required to do this image.
(Note: This is at 1/4 size done for internet use... Original image was done for printing.)
(Oh, and the "finished" status... is just finished... for now ;) )
