Brass Gears and Coral: A Steampunk Reef Workshop

A hyper-detailed 3D render of a vibrant coral reef inside a sprawling steampunk workshop. The reef rises from a rugged pedestal that also serves as a mechanical workbench, surrounded by brass gears, copper pipes, riveted iron beams, steam vents, gauges, and clockwork cranes. Coral branches entwine with pistons and valves; bioluminescent corals glow blue and pink, casting warm light on polished brass, rusted metal, and wet stone textures. Glass tanks reflect machinery, oil slick surfaces and patina enhance the contrast with the vivid reef colors. Cinematic lighting with volumetric shafts from skylights and tungsten highlights creates depth and micro detail on corals, gears, and droplets in the air. Perspective from slightly below, looking up at the reef as a living centerpiece in the workshop; a small steampunk drone inspecting the reef can be added for a touch of life.
