Hey all,

some of you might remember a few years back, some surreal photos circulated, showing an underground "temple" beneath Tokyo, with massive pillars in a huge room. The chamber is a small part of a gigantic system to leave enormous masses of rain water away from the city of Tokyo.

Anyway, I thought the location looked so awesome, that I've wanted to recreate it ever since. And now I finally got around to it.

The project is an exercise in textures and materials, as well as speed. The modelling took a matter of hours, and materials & lighting took about a day. After that has followed about 2 days of tweaking and render tests, and finally a day of compositing. Rendering alone took a full weekend.

Software used:

* Autodesk 3ds Max
* Adobe After Effects
* Adobe Photoshop
* Cebas finalRender

I hope you enjoy it,
- Jonas
