sword in the stone

I have just completed this scene image in Blender from a CG Fast Track tutorial. It was great fun and I learned some useful scene setup skills for lighting, volumetrics, and compositing, amongst other things. We also briefly touched on geometry nodes for arranging the rocks of the cave wall. We then took this image, added particle FX for dust, flames and embers. Then created an additional animated camera. Next we are adding an animated character to the scene.

Still Shot

This is the initial still image before adding any special effects.
