Watch out, Indy...a giant stone sphere could be rolling down that circular portal at any time! RUN!!!



Sorry. I got carried away.....again.


The great perspective that creates a sense of depth and the colors and lines do remind me of stone.

This leaves me breathless with awe

Your latest proliferating theme of archaic stones & cultures plays my with my mindstrings, evoking a hauntingly beautiful aria heard long ago, in another time, so far away.


This is so strong and fine it makes me feel everything I've done so far is a tawdry circus sideshow in comparison. You've set the bar to a new height this time Ian!

Very, very realistic stone texture . The image drew me in and upwards with a unusual perspective that kept me searching through the beautifully detailed passageway.

Wow! Thank you indeed

That aria - wouldn't be one from the film Aria, by any chance? I only saw the thing once, but I was close to tears for at least a couple of the shorts, especially the 'Tristan und Isolde' number in the Vegas scene...

This one was a big zoom! 80 on Master scale and 1.2 on Zoom Then rendered at high quality (10000) with OS = 4 - still not too much over the hour But I'm no Faber - the only time I recall setting new bar heights is when I've razed them

No, my mother was a diva, an operatic soprano, & my mind is haunted by her music - it surfaces in moments like these.

Do you enjoy opera? I find it a clunky old form, doubt if I could sit thru one any more, but can't help responding to certain arias. Prefer Psytrance but the above doesn't bespeak that. Every time I look into that tunnel I see Lara Croft's buns & sneakers - oops, giving away dark secrets here!( & hideously detracting from the high tone evokeries, wot!)

I've been torturing self trying to figure out how the hell you did this but hadn't thought of the scale/zoom factor. Sgp talks of 20000 overnight renders, but I think at OS=2.
I'll keep pokin' round.

Maybe you did raze the bar or it's so high it's outasight, coz I can't even see it.

When you are finally satisfied you've nailed this particular technique maybe you'd consider an Ankor Wot script...?
