Thanks for the critique. As for size, I did that with SIZE.
That planet has a raduis of 1e6, and that space station is 1000 high.
The small ships are about 5 units long.
<p>There is no smoke, I think that effect is being created by radiosity.
<p>Metal Band - Actually they ARE small panels. I placed randomly
tall boxes every 1 degree hanging from the base of "half dome".
They are the standard "Brushed_Aluminum" texture. I intended to have
them play some of the light from the 'bays' in the lower section back on
to the station via radiosity, but they just don't.
<p>Story: There is a story... Its about a pilot who wakes up from cryo
sleep after 3 months flight to find the outpost he is approaching has been
destroyed. This space station is the space borne part of a mining operation
on the planet surface.

<br>This image does an incredible job of expressing both SIZE and s p a
c e. How
<br>did you make the smoke clouds? I spent quite a while studying your
image,
<br>getting a feel for all that's in it and trying to catch all the details
-
<br>wow! a lot of time and imagination must have gone into that; Good Job.
I
<br>have one comment and one suggestion:
<br>That highlight on the metalic band of the station's dome - is there
any way
<br>you can break it up? It's hard to believe that something that size
would
<br>have an undisturbed band of metal all around it, like it was cast from
a
<br>single mold. Rather, I think it would be many panels - which would
then
<br>disturb a clean highlight.
<br>The other thing - There is so much going on here it seems that it would
be
<br>easy to extract a story out of it. Maybe a gallery website that tells
the
<br>story, supported with a series of images based on the station and the
<br>world(s) and people(s) involved?
<br>Well, that's my change for a nickle ;-]
