A huge bipedal mech with red lights on its head and body walks toward the viewer along a wet street between ruined buildings and leafless trees, lit by dense orange fog.

I wanted a dystopian cyberpunk feel and for the mech to feel heavy and huge, so the haze and the backlighting are doing a lot of the work here.

The scene was set up in Blender around a Sketchfab model that I modified a bit, with grading and compositing in DaVinci Resolve. The breakdown goes from the untextured scene to the raw render to the final shot.
