HERETIC!

Just kidding.  I do just about the same, except I just threshold and blur the
brightest colors.  Looks great though, especially the newest version with the
large dome.  Clever idea.

Ah, the ol' Photoshop trick, eh?  ;-)  You're right, it does add to the beauty
of the scene. Thanks for reminding me of this technique; haven't used it in
quite awhile. I think that your POV image--beautiful in itself-- made a
particularly good candidate for this post-processing step.

Oh, indeed? Should be possible also in good old PaintShopPro... Shall have a 
try.... Thanks for the info by the way.

Last night's render. Please excuse the low radiosity/anti-aliasing settings.

Magnificent. I'd think it could be a CG movie set. The roughness of render 
actually gives it some extra character.

Just curious...
In all of your Endless Palace WIPs, there is only one with a person 
visible -- near the left-hand side of Palace2400x900.jpg

If you have one person, why not more??  If this isn't a person, what is it?

Ah yes! That was a nice touch indeed!

Ah, you found the lonely maid, left to clean the northern regions of the endless
palace while the rest moved to the warmer regions further south.

I sketched her in just for fun.  She's not 3D.  I don't have any human models.
I generally don't try adding 3D people--I find that most all 3D people fall
into that "uncanny valley."

This, of course, is the builder of the Endless Palace. Once finished, he noticed
a fatal flaw in his design: No exit for him to get out. Nor an entrance for
others to get in, for that matter. :P
