Description
I made these pictures (Explorers and Explorers II) to test some textures and I wasn't sure to post them: I think the subject is not so "original". Moreover, I wasn't really satisfed of the final result, but I listened to Rochr's advices, just improved some details... and here they are.

Walls and columns are terrains. No volumetric world. Sunrays and all ambience and lights effects made in Photoshop and Painter.

Special thanks to Rochr for his beautiful "Egyptian Textures" and for his precious suggestions. Thanx, Rudy :o)
And, of course... thanx for stopping by. Hope you enjoy.

I love the lighting and texture effect...Great work ...
really nice - great POV, and ...i'm worried, because sbleci+Rochr sounds like a really dangerous mixture! look out!! :-)
This is excellent. The textures are supurb. And the postwork, boy you excel at that. Great render.
Whether you think the subject is original or not, I'm pleased you posted it anyway. Your work is always a cut above, and what many of us try to achieve but more often then not fail.
I think the lighting and the POV and exceptional. Excellent scene!
A treat to my eyes. Reminds me of the movie "Stargate" but this one looks better.
E meno male che eri indeciso! :) I materiali cossgranati sono perfetti per l'atmosfera, e il post per gli effetti di luce incredibile. Un altro "excellent+Hot20", e pure di corsa! ;-)
another great job! very cool FX here!
Carlo, youre way to modest! This piece was already stunning without any suggestions! Im glad you did post this! Its simply superb! :)
