I have given here the others parameters for the metal of the escalator, the material for the steps, the rubber for the ramp and the material for the arrival part. I increased the subdivision of the metal of the escalator to reduce the noise of the material. You can see that I've also improved this parameter in the rendering parameters.

Lighting:

For the render I used the V-Ray rendering engine. In order to obtain the atmosphere that I wanted, I made about a dozen tests with different views and lighting setups to get the image that I had imagined.

I placed just two “vraylights” in this scene. There is one white light at the top of the escalator; I put the multiplier of this light at 12 in order to have a big light (I improved the lighting in post-production but I’ll explain this later in the Making Of!).

The other light was placed behind the camera so that I could have a source of lighting at the bottom, and to also see some detailed parts of the escalator. The multiplier of this light was set to 2 and I gave it a blue light.

I made the lights at the bottom just with a “Vraylight” material (multiplier at 4).

The environment of the scene is a grey colour (Grey: 100).
