Tnx.

It's a sphere.  Main light is the sun.

> if so good.  where is your fill light and how bright is it?  i think it
I think there are 3 fill lights: one at the place of the main light, but
with no_shadow and less bright, one on the opposite side (in X and Z) and
one on the same side as the second fill light, but opposite Y-coordinates.
And they might indeed be a little bit too bright.

> may be a little too light in the shadows.  and stars never twinkle on
Yes, I know.  I just started the rendering, and then I noticed those stars.
I thought I didn't include them. :-(

No changes, only light- and camerasetup.  And of course the planet. (And the
background, but that's not really important)

I have thought about it, but I'm not going to do it.
I try to reproduce the real model, and with randomized piping, that's
impossible.  The siding-details are randomized,  and there is some random
detail on the hull, but they might be temporary.

A bit, but not a lot.  The engine-section should be more detailed.

A drawing?  Don't trust them!
