My scene is the Barclays Premier League trophy on a table inside of small soccer
stadium. I created the main body of the trophy and the arms of the trophy in Maya, and found the
crown, lions, and table online.

For the background of the soccer field I put a sphere around the whole scene and textured
the sphere with a panorama of a soccer field I found online at hdrlabs. I made it so that this
texture did not have shadow on it, so the trophy and table did not cast shadows on it that did not
make sense. I textured the table with a wood texture that I found online. The main part of the
trophy had a very high reflectivity to act like a very highly polished metal. The golden parts of
the trophy were textured with a golden image I found online and then given some reflectivity as
well to imitate a shiny golden material. I added one area light in my scene to cast a shadow from
the sun on the table and some shadows on one side of the trophy.

I implemented depth of field to focus on the trophy and the reflection of the trophy while
blurring the background that was not reflected on the trophy. I also implemented multi-threading
to speed up the ray tracer running time so I could experiment with different materials quicker.
