Nice..

Just an idea : the second platform has to be farther, and in a hole in the water
too...

    I agree that two implies hundreds, and the station loses it's
incongruity and uniqueness. The falls are a little grainy but other-wise I
would replace the second station with almost anything else and then call it
finished.

    Maybe a fleet of supply ships coming in at about 300 ft? Or a close up
of a ship leaving? Anything occupying about the same visual space would do,
but something that adds to the story would be best.

    What's the story?

It's very beautiful!  :o)

May I ask something? Is your philosophy to reuse only the things you
have found to "work great"? I mean, a lot of POV'ers seem to experiement
with new things all the time.. But maybe you mostly stick with things
you already succesfully invented; continuing to use them? (This includes
textures, principles, modelling and lighting)

I'm just thinking about how you acheive these great results, moreover in
a short amount of time, with a relative slow computer.. And may I humbly
ask, if you could share the water texture with us? Please. It's the best
POV water I've seen so far.

Eminent! What more to say..

Byebye,
Hugo

Hmm.  I don't think so.   My images may have a similar style, but I don't
think I don't experiment with every new image.  The only thing that may
transfer between images is snippets of trace() code and maybe some lighting
setups (that are quickly altered).
I usually just start with a black text screen and just start typing.  When I
get to a point where I think the result might look good, I hit the render
button.  Case in point -  I built the station from the ground up without
rendering it once (no texturing or landing pads...) .  I guess I can just
visualize it. ;)

Actually, I'm using a P133 instead of my P200. :) Patience is key.

I will. When I post Take 6, the water code will be right there. :)

Blimps.  Everyone loves blimps, right?

Hmm. I think i have the clouds fixed to my satisfaction.  You'll see in the
next image. :)

Do we really need a picture of John McCain ruining an otherwise marvelous
work of art?
