While there are the occasional 3D elements in Myst IV for the most part
it's difficult to tell that it's making any use of 3D hardware
acceleration. It does make use of pixel shadders for effects like depth
of field.

It's hard to tell the scale of the intended feature here. If it's meant
to be a 1000 foot spire type of thing on which you could build a hanging
city, or tunnel into then the basic shape is right but in this case I
would reduce the sandy beach part at the bottom to a thin strip around
the edges. If it's meant to be a much smaller feature then it looks too
steep to my eye. Just my 2 cents. Otherwise nice image. I've thought
several times of making my own Myst game too.

I don't know, some of the sneak peek stuff from the next version looks
quite promising:
