Before the Fire

A modern cabin on black volcanic ground, facing a mountain that is about to wake up. The first frame shows the calm before — mist, still water and a thin line of chimney smoke. The second shows the fire itself, with lava and ash reflected in the rain-soaked ground. The scene was modelled in 3ds Max, rendered with V-Ray and Chaos Vantage, then finished with AI-assisted post-processing in Veras. An animated version is included below. 3ds Max · V-Ray · Chaos Vantage · Veras AI
