The Ruins of Nautilai

This was actually one of my first ideas, before I really got a chance to play with the Builder tool much. The shape of the nautilus is gorgeous and mathematical, so I tried to create something built around that shape.

I love that even though you are in the middle of the structure looking up, you can still see the shape of a spiral shell above you. 

I wanted a somewhat ethereal and ancient sort of feel. The insta-fog supplied exactly that! I also tried to use a color palette of yellow trees flanking the borders to prevent anything from obstructing the view of the ruins.

I created an archway which invites the viewer to stand in, and thus gives them the best, straight shot of the ruins. 

From above the shell sculpture can be clearly seen. I wonder if the judges get to see it from this angle?

I'm really happy with how this turned out, because I never knew what a nautilus-shaped structure would really look like. It was fun to walk through, with the blocks slowly forcing you tighter and tighter until you get to the middle. It was fun to make, and I hope you enjoyed the little tour!
