IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


This scene was inspired by the Halls of Moria with all the arches & columns in
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings (the column & arch feel, but not the
dungeon look).
And I just like the look of everything under a geodesic dome like in Total
Recall.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The whole building is made of CSG structures coded by hand entirely of simple
shapes.
The columns are a hybrid mix of various Greek column styles - Doric for the
taper & square cap, and Ionic for the base which was mirrored to the top as
well.
The roof is a series of gothic arch canopies and some off-camera domes.
All textures are various marbles from stones1.inc.
Used WinDome to create the surrounding geodesic dome.
The background mountain is a slight twist of the slope sample scene by Rune
Johansen that came with POVRay 3.5.
