Just a normal, very old 3D CAD model. See http://www.persepolis3d.com/bbc_english.html

They made 2 documentary films out of it, the first as interviews with the archeaologists, and then this one 2006 as a 12min 3D rendered walkthrough movie. The Getty WEBGL version is just taken from this old model, with better resolution and lightning. They are constantly changing the colors, due to ongoing internal fights/theories.

You really need to compare it to the classical greek architecture (the Artemis temple of Ephesos from the same period), and the very similar older egyptian 1000 column halls, and the babylonian/assyrian palaces.
