I've continued working on my spinner scene. New stuff include a new building
type, maglev rail system, and outer shell. Enjoy!

Added more detail of the space station as a whole.

The place become every day more interesting...

Simply cool! Did you model it purely in PoV-Ray scene definition
language, or did you use some graphical frontends or other tools?

Thanks!
Most of it is SDL. There are a few models by other authors that were done in
other tools like Anim8or and then converted.

Here are some close-ups of the buildings.

Comming good.
I hope that the landing platform/garage don't rotate with the rest of
the station. Otherwise, of the 4 craft it contains, only the purple one
won't be ejected.
But then, if it don't rotate, the floors are useless as there is no
effective gravity and everything will be free floating.
Those transparent domes have what function? Been on the outside, they
should rotate with the bulk of the station, what /looks/ like a floor is
realy a ceiling. They absolutely can't be used as greenhouses.
If the outer hull don't spin, then you can't grow plants there anyway:
Plants need at least some gravity to properly grow and the mass of the
station is not huge enough for that purpose. In zero G/micro-gravity,
you can only grow unicellular algaes.
The floor of the living area seems to not reaching the end caps. Does
that mean that the hull don't spin? I don't think that is't a good
setup. To much risks of mechanical failure, also a source of undesirable
heat, vibrations and noise, not to mention a waste of energy. Just the
diferential rotation will create a LOT of noise from the relative wind,
turbulence and edies...

There is an inner shell and an outer shell. The inner shell is the one that
rotates, and it only contains the buildings.

The floors are there to secure the ships (magnetically?) to keep them from
floating around if something gets bumped. Otherwise, you're right, the docking
area is zero-G.

They are intended as greenhouses. I didn't realize that plants can't grow in
zero gravity.

That's something I need to fix. The inner shell is supposed to be
fully-enclosed, but I didn't get around to modeling the inner end-caps yet.

Thanks for reviewing my scene!

It seems my response didn't appear, so here it is again.

No, it doesn't rotate. Only the living compartment does. the ships are attached
magnetically so they don't float around and bump into stuff.

They are for agriculture, though I suppose they could be growing plumes of algae
(in which case they should really contain water or something).

I've fixed that and will be uploading a new pic shortly.
