I received a concept art piece together with this shot. It had the mood and silhouettes of the objects set. It was up to me to push this shot to a believable degree.
In the beginning of developing this shot we built an asset library of pillars which we then used in each shot to speed up our process. However, after placing them in each shot they had to be heavily adjusted to fit the viewing angle of the specific shot.
