My brother enjoys building and painting Warhammer models, so for his birthday I had the idea to create a custom birthday card in Blender based on that theme. The scene is relatively simple, but for a weekend's work I'm quite pleased with how it turned out - I experimented with the depth of field settings on the camera to try and produce a sense of scale for the objects (as well as make the difference in detail between the main sprue and the background objects less obvious), and while it didn't produce as strong an effect as some photographs I've seen I do believe it helped to enhance the overall realism of the render.

That's so cool,
So much thought into your brothers birthday card.
I usually pick up the first I see on the shelf for my brother.
