IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
This is a render of the New Jerusalem scene described in the Bible book of Revelation. I created the different aspects of the scene to match as closely as possible to the descriptions of size, shape and texture found in Revelation 21:10-27. I researched the types of stone mentioned in the city's foundation and produced POV textures to match as closely as possible. The throne, Jesus and the angels by the gates are all image maps projected on to transparent cylinders. No further editing took place after the render except for slight adjustment to the brightness.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
Entirely using POV Ray for Windows. Some elements were created with Image and Height Maps from gif files.
