Scene:
The current stage of the developments at the bays of the imperial carrier 
SENECA goes on. I added thousands of small details such as antennas, 
position- and warning lights, and additional superstructures.

This relatively small image makes it difficult to spot all the details but 
the 6400x4800 rendering shows everything!

More details to come, especially at the surfaces of the bays, before I go on 
with the middle section of the ship.

Nice. I think some areas need better lighting to make details more visible,
especially against the same color background.

Hi Slime,

about different lighting: yes for better visibility, no because of realism. 
Watch the real space photos: the contrast values in space are very high, 
beside the earth - black is blacker and white is whiter.

I wanted with full intention that parts of the ship are not really visible 
but only to guess based on the ship's many lights.

I am happy you like the image! And thanks for your feedback! All feedbacks 
are important to me.

Greetings,

Sven

The SENECA will have a strong armament of smaller and larger guns.

This here is one of the lightest guns, an automatic multi-purpose defense 
gun. Can fire small rockets and high-speed particles.

Dimensions:
Diameter 10 m, Height 6.75 m, Gun Z-12 m

The gun is modelled as a macro which enables the gun to rotate left-right 
and up-down.

The first new AMPDG defense guns are being installed on the SENECA. There 
are at the moment 240 of the AMPDGs installed, all can be pointed to 
different direction since the AMPDG's SDL source code is done as macro.

There will be more of these defense guns, and also some other heavier weapon 
systems (of both defense and offensive purpose).

This here is one of the medium guns, an automatic multi-purpose defense gun. 
Can fire small rockets and high-speed particles. Will be used for the 
SENECA.

Dimensions:
Diameter 15 m, Height 11.5 m, Gun Z-9 m

The gun is modelled as a macro which enables the gun to rotate left-right 
and up-down.

Would you be willing to post the texture you're using for the main sphere? 
It's very interesting to me.

...And what's the small bluish thing in the bottom-right of the image?  A 
human to show scale, perhaps?

Yes, How Camp, you're right! It is a human for better interpretion of the 
item's dimensions.

I added the sphere's texture. Remember to use the proper map_type for 
spherical objects.

Greetings,

Sven

Here's a section of the large bay. It has now many details, but rendering is 
sooo slow...

I still have to add many more weapons and the surface structures for other 
sections of the ship.

Another small preview - here a surface construction which serves as
conference center and has a panoramic view. Somewhen later, when all works
on the SENECA have been finished, I am adding a few persons to the scene.
Some of these persons will be inside the visible conference deck. I am also
going to add some comfortable and stylish furniture.Persons deciding about
interstellar situations just require a comfortable furniture!   :-)

There are a few locations inside the huge ship where floors and equipment do 
exist, and where people will be visible. These decks will also offer some 
windows which invite you to have a look to some parts of the ship from the 
crew's perspective!

The conference deck is real. It has already a floor and its windows. But not 
yet much more.

Sven
