Above all, I mainly do and submit photographies, with considerable post production work. Now I'd like to create 3d landscapes with a similar taste, not hyperrealistic (that I like very much but this is not my goal). In other words, I have tried to recreate similar atmospheres of retouched photographies in sceneries not easy... to capture with camera

This is not an active volcano, it is the entrance for an anderground world situated near a out of the way isle. The light you can see is produced by a source of energy ( a little sun underground or, probably, a sea of lava. Ispired, obviously, from "Journey to the Center of the Earth" but here... we are in the tropics !!

Everithing done with Vue 7 and Photoshop except gulls and a few clouds.
