Description
This is pretty much based on a scene from one of the Myst novels... always wanted to give it a try.
I kinda thought of my Diarist picture to be a representation of the towers inside:
-------------------------------------------------------
9 Mio Polygons, about 1000 light sources, no GI
Render Time: 53hrs (4000x2220)
zB + C4D + PS
-------------------------------------------------------
Whats better than an exploding Inbox when visiting dA
Big thanks to 2753Productions and KeremGo !
Also, thanks for all the comments and favs of course

I’m not laughing, why does god not send angels to record where he place things

He's too busy arranging for slavery, rape and genocide to bother with using these angels of yours for correspondence.
(Sorry you're not laughing. Life's too short to live without laughter.)
Let us take a moment to celebrate Me. Thank you, thank you.

Awkward question here: which scene is this supposed to be?

Sorry for the late reply. Its just loosely based on the city description in the first book, lots of lights added though, didn't really go for that abandoned look here.

When I first saw the blue version I thought Myst straight away...and you now what a Myst Geek I am. You captured the sprit of Myst nicely here.

I did notice that. Man my rig would struggle badly, you must have a lot of PC resources.

Ha i wished. Im using an 2008 iMac with Core 2 Duo @ 2.66GHz and 4 GB of Ram.

well that does surprise me, efficient modelling and scene building then. All surface procedural?
I have an I7 3770 3.4 GHZ Quad with 8 GB of RAM

Im using a mixture of photo textures and procedurals usually, except for rocks and stuff like that; its easier to just go with layered noise shaders and some vertex and terrain maps for that i think.
Nice, although id probably go with more RAM, i could need 16-20 sometimes. At least thats what the virtual memory usage says. Good to be patient

Yeah I am saving up for another 8 GB to max it out.

Beautiful job. You captured the lighting of a cavern very well.

this is just how the Ae'gura City Cavern has to look like. I wish all the explorers could live in place like that now! Amazing job, fascinating!

The design of the buildings remind me a lot of the famous "Tower of Babel" painting.
