Wow, I wasn't even thinking about that, but there is a certain similarity. I suppose it can be said that so many station and ship designs have been done over the years that it would be difficult to make anything that wasn't somewhat similar to something.
You'd have to look hard but this render represents accuracy tweaks to the Ty'GoKor station.
Thanks to all for your observations.
I edited this post and removed the station image because all the previous images in this thread are updated, including one at the same angle as this one.
I added the homely little dohicky on the right lower portion of the main body and the front is closer being like the model. Check it out in earlier posts if you like.
Ok I allready said that I like your station and nothing has changed about that. What I didn't said yet is that your planet in post #5 is looking relly awesome. It looks like you have used some photograph of a lake for the texture. Is that so? If so, it is a great idea. I allways like it if simple things are used to create a unique look. Did you do it by youre self? Or (if not) is it possible to get it somewhere?
After analyzing photo after photo I realized the back side of the station has to have a terraced structure in the area indicated by the arrow and the "fins" beyond it. You can see it in some of the photos. As a result, I completely redid the body and it is now nearly identical to the model from all angles.
In this white backdrop, it sure looks like it lost a lot of weight.
I tried orthos with the texturing on them, but the details were too hard to see. I did the following as "hidden line" drawings similar to my Klingon Cruiser orthos. I chose this hoping to make it easier to follow the dimensions.
Here is an ortho review with texture. I might add that I worked and worked and redid elements over and over, so that what you see is VERY nearly the same as the original.
Yes, I need to work on a scene next. I re-posted an orthographic panel above in place of the front projection. It has some minor refinements even over the blue line drawings. And yeah, I should have done those with black lines and a white background.
Wow, I love the design of the station. Your aztec texture is very realistic for Klingons. I only miss the Klingon letters down to the emblem of the empire.

From commandersozo on down to evil_genius_180 I forgot a thanks. You're all very kind. Nice to get a shout from tobian who ought to know stations... :thumb:

It will be great to see this in an actual scene with scenic lighting instead of WIP lighting.
Thanks for reminding me.
The space station looks perfect.
Also more accuracy Tweaks. Minor stuff.
cool but the two partial ring strcutures seem a bit too regular for a station.
