Description
Two things about this pic:
1 It will be used as background in a bigger project, so it's totally normal if there are big empty spaces: there will be something in front of these.
2 Yes, the pyramids are bright and white!
In Egyptian times, pyramids were coated with a smooth bright white matter, looking as lighthouses in the desert.
It showed how powerful Egyptian empire was, as even their kings tombs were luminous.
One can see remains of this coat at the top of the greater Gizah Pyramid, for example.
Everything done in Vue, no postwork.
Hope you like it!

Fabulous render!!

Serious depth, like the tree placement surrounding the water. The foreground desert maybe could use a little more bump or color variation in. Killer render

Nice scene, great to see the "unrealistic" realistic white pyramids - I didn't know about that.

Really excellent work, I love the scale of those background mountains in relation to your desert, very well done!

If I remember right they were lined with limestone. Not just a testament to their ingenuity, but also the power they had over their own people.
