IMAGE DESCRIPTION :

Heaven...But there is a backdoor, a way to reach the Hell...Between the Heaven and the Hell, the border is thin...


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED : 

Nothing very complicated in this still. I used lots of extruded spline for the door. I placed two volumetrics light for the 'atmosphere' of the hell.
For the grass, i used a plug-in called 'Hair department'. I want to thank his author, Stefan BAUER.
For the stone i used a displacement map, and a texture that i generated with POV-Ray.

Cinema 4D is a really cool software, made by a cool team (like the POV team), so please have a look to his web site : www.maxon.net.
Thanks for all !
