How about getting cinematic render in this gothic dungeon?
This project helps you to have a unique fantastic Dungeon experience with realistic building, bone, throne, candle etc..
Also, this complete interior scene includes a complete night scene.
The scene consists of 10 camera settings for each scene ready to render.

Looks cool and atmopsheric!
Who's the character on the throne, and what outfit is he wearing?
I was seriously tempted for the athmosphere and lightning, but in the end I still suffer from the "too many skulls" fatigue by my 40k days. Sorry. That made me also pass Stonemasons "Black Gate". Too obvious to be used in any RPG session for me...
But nice work. If you ever make one without skulls, I will likely be in.
DOUBLE. This forum needs a delete function :-/
It's technically a nice set, but a dungeon usually has cells, shackles, etc., as it's a place of imprisonemt, not a place to put a throne. Really, short of the one window with a few bars, it's about the least dungeony dungeon I've ever seen. Ghoulish and creepy, yes, but Dark Throne, Dark Throneroom, or Dark Chamber would have been all much more accurate names that would have at least made this set more likely to come up when some starts searching for what's actually in it.
I assume this is "Dungeon" as in "s and Dragons", a generic term for an underground place for adventuring. As I understand it, dungeon derives from donjon, the central keep of a medieval castle, which might well have had a prison and a throne-room.
prisoners often were kept in towers anyway and tortured there too if not in the public square
most dungeons were storage rooms full of wine barrels arguably a place one might want to hang out with a cup, a wheel of cheese and hunk of bread
some rulers had a bit of obsession with collecting their enemies skulls too
so a throne surrounded by them while getting hammered on ones wine seems on point
I definitely am adding this to my wishlist as like creepy thrones in themselves
According to Websters, the two words Donjon and Dungeon diverged with the original Donjon still being in use to refer to the central keep area while word dungeon refers to the subset of prison. I do take your point about the usage in D&D and other games, except the convention there defines a Dungeon as a "confined, labyrinthine environment—often a ruined castle, cavern system, or crypt—designed for exploration" and one would be extremely generous to apply that definition to the small setting here. And either way, it does't change the secondar... and more important to DAZ and the PA... point that anyone who's actually looking for a sinister throne for a project is unlikely to stumble across this one via a store search. Search for Throne on the DAZ store now and, guess what? This product doesn't come up.
It kind of does, because it looks like the same model is also in 3dLab's "Throne Pack" product (along with a few others, and without the surrounding environment)
Well, dang. I own that pack and bought the Dark Dungeon and didn't snap that it was the same prop.
Not that it matters to me, given that the first thing I did with the Dark Dungeon after installing it was to save a new preset off without the throne and most of the crystals so I could add normal dungeon gear, but I can imagine that not everyone would be thrilled about discovering that they'd double-bought.
I also came to ask the same question!
Glad I'm not the only one curious about that ;-) :-)
