I copied this 3D candleholder model from a real-life counterpart. I did measurings to the finest detail and put all I got from them into the modeling process. The result was an exact copy of the real-life object. It took 5 hours to model and refine. An additional 10 hours went into renderings, I wanted to get eye-catching images.
