I call this Thornak's Crucible. The textures are off and there is not enough
detail, but I'm done working on it for the moment, I kind of got tired of
tweaking it, so here it is.

Make it a lot darker and add some weird orange, frog-legged creatures 
without heads, and it could be a scene from the pyramid in Pathways into 
Darkness...
(a first-person shooter, a *really* old one. It didn't have varying 
heights, so each floor had perfectly flat floors and ceilings. It also 
had a lot of pillars...and some very "interesting" creatures.)

I notice in this what I see all the time in mine, it look sas if the
camera is a bit walleyed? the scene is a bit splayed \/. Is there a way
to fix this??

Otherwise, I like the textures the way they are, nice piece.

Thanks.

Yeah, that is perspective distortion. I don't know the "proper" way to fix
it, but in the past I've tried decreasing the camera angle and moving the
camera farther away (maybe it's vice versa) - anyway - it seems to help.

It's a bit uniform.. have you considered adding some light-fading?

Yeah it still has much work to do ... lighting, details, textures ... that
is a good idea.

Cool .. guess I'll keep it that way ... I'll probably darken the columns a
bit, to make them look damp.

You could try using a cylindrical camera to correct for this.
