In the presence of another world

Comments

This was another image inspired by the computer game "Marathon". It was originally intended to be the backdrop for another scene of gratuitous violence involving a heavily-armed Poser figure, but I decided that the backdrop was actually more interesting and effective than the figure. Or the violence.

The scene is basically pure Bryce 4, with no imported objects or texture maps. The elements of the scene are primitives, often heavily-sculpted using Booleans. The most complex part - the strange structures inside the urn in the foreground - are made using the 'Strange Roots' volumetric texture.

The scene is supposed to represent Lhowon, in "Marathon II".
