Description
A few years ago I read about mythical Shambalah underworld, down in Central Asia. Well, this is just how I imagine it. Ropes and cross support beam are from Bryce, bushes from 3DCafe. I've used volumetric clouds for fogbank and blurred cones for green light beams, that have increased rendering time. Some architectural elements, such as foreground pinnacle, have been modeled in Strata 3D, then imported in Bryce as dxf files. I've added slight details in Painter and Adobe Photoshop. Thanx for viewing. Hope you like it.
By the way... yes, I know plants usually can't live underground... but I consider green light a sort of supernatural energy :)
