I really can't wait to start on the textures - really!
I just want to get all the modelling done first.
When i'm done with it it'll be as rough as guts!
It's actually just a matte white texture and as i've been modelling i've been
playing with the radiosity and sky/sun colour schemes. It helps to get a clean
idea of how the environment is affecting the lighting...

I don't know just yet- i'm kinda savouring the process of designing it.
Sometimes if i labour over the design of something before getting stuck
in to making it i can bore my self out of the inspiration. Gotta keep
things surprising ;)

nice work so far by the way. if you are going for an industrial look,
then by all means texture away! if you're going for a futuristic look,
then perhaps all you need to add to the main surface is a normal
texture. either way, elements like the ladder still need texture. i
look forward to your progress.

More specifically?
sky_sphere {
pigment {
gradient y
color_map {
[0.5 hsl (<0.55,0.4,0.9>) ]
[ 0.52 hsl (<0.6,0.4,0.6>) ]
[ 1.0 hsl (<0.6,0.4,0.4>) ]
}
scale 2
translate y*-1
}
}
and then a bozo sky plane (i'm sure the clouds are sparse enough not to
make an appreciable diffrence) with transparent sky bits.
the sun colour (under pretty constant revision) is
<3,1.5,1.5> (nice and bright)
and yes, it'll look pretty industrial by the end of it. I'm going for
futuristic but definately not slick-tech - more crusty and lo-fi. More
like it could conceivably be around today.

The higher your recursion level, the higher your count needs to be to
get smooth results.. but the more your scene is filled with bright
areas, the less this matters. In your case, you have an entire
hemisphere (the sky), so you probably won't need to change your quality
settings at all.
Increasing the recursion level will also brighten your image a bit; if
all of your textures are using the default diffuse setting, you can
lower that slightly, or make some other adjustment to your lighting
setup. (Or you could just reduce brightness a little.)
You might also raise gray_threshold a little so that the environment
doesn't contribute TOO much color to the scene.

Kwel! Great radiosity. Be interesting to know what's inside... :)

I also mostly use recursion_limit 1 when doing outdoor scenes, but in some
cases higher values look better.

There would probably be even more with higher recursion_limit, so maybe
just keep it the way it is now.

Thanks, the scene used is not particularly critical concerning
illumination and artefacts so i should probably add some another part with
a more complex scene.
