IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

There are ruins somewhere in the Red Desert. An ancient city with its palaces and temples is long abandoned... Now it is only an attraction for tourists. Lit up in the evening...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

I used only the CSG geometry. I am preparing a big project for classical interior now & I have used some ideas and objects for this scene. The object (the lit temple) on the background is "natural" with many details you can see when placing the camera approximately at <50, -300,50> (and additional light source).
The mosaic texture is taken from "Tunesia online" website and it is free. The other textures are created by myself with the old good IPhotoPlus 1.0.
