That's a freaking gorgeous model.

thanks evil, I appreciate that, I remember when I started this, there were only a hand full of DS9's on the net,
now there are some really good ones out there.. and... I feel all of their pain and hard work.. this is quite the model to build.

Ok so it's finally done, after 16 years of procrastination I can finally say the book is closed on this mesh.
It's only fitting that I post the images here seeing how this is where it started..
I think I can start something new now . . lol

I rendered this yesterday, just wanted to post something here as it has been a long time indeed.
Glad to see some places are still around.
Battlestar by Tan.J, it was the Pacifica, but I converted it into the Galactica changed a bit of geometry and textures and added some lighting.
Background scene I put together as part of a never ending BSG project...
see yall in Space... "New Eden
"

Been working on my maps for the habitat Ring, but life seems to be keeping me from doing 3D.
This is what I have been up to for the last 2 weeks, Home projects out the wazoo..

Pluto station is still going. And going. And going.

I wonder how big it is now... but you have to admit it is awesome... maybe someone will want to use it in a film as green screen backdrop... that would be great to see.

This morning I was laying on the first set of uv images and I ran into the lift elevator for the Runabout. The outer hull is solid, there is no interiors to my DS9, but I do want to do an animation and I may need the lift elevators to be functional, which means there needs to be some sort of interior.
a while back I downloaded a Runabout from Thomas Slanitz and thatnk goodness he built it somewhat to scale... I loaded it into my DS9 section and the universe made total sense.... things built to scale are beautiful below are the 2 images, followed by screen shots of the TV Runabout Hangar, the versions are so damn close it was almost like I knew what I was doing... So the question is do I build a low res cavity for the hangar or just have a small elevator shaft type deal seeing how you wont see the interior that much anyway. = save on poly's
What do you think?
