Greystone Manor
After a recent Rewatch of one of my favorite TV shows is "The Haunting of Hill House," I wanted to create my own version of a haunted mansion inspired by the show. I took a bit of time trying to come up with the look of the manor using a lot of reference photos, but tried to avoid pictures of the actual Hill House (aka Bisham Manor) with the intent of having the house be less of a copy.
Originally I was only planning on making the night time render, but I also just really enjoyed working on it and decided to make a day time render as well.
Overall the scene took roughly a week to create. I definitely could have finished it earlier if I didn't have to re-render so many times due to leaving assets lying around where they shouldn't have been.
Each render took about an hour, rendering at 4k resolution with 400 samples.

Theres a few small things I'd change if I were to render again. I definitely disabled some bevel modifiers before the render but couldn't be bothered to render again. I also definitely would want to make the window textures more ornate, and make some changes to my grass textures and the stone brick texture, at least for the daytime renders.
