Nice but a bit dark on my monitor. I looks like a lot of work. How long did it
take you to build it?

I haven't seen that show in ages, but impressive and well done I think.
Dark is probably more realistic, but I'd also like to see it in brighter
light to see more of the model.

Change the gamma to 2.2 the detail’s there

I like it, dark as it is perhaps, but that is part of its ominous presence.
Excellent work.

It took about a week to put together...Each hull segment is made using a
macro so I can make an inner, middle, and outer hull and combine them
together.
This render at 1280x1024 took 51m to render... Before I figured out how to
use light_groups, it took over 5 hours!

If you can lend me a render farm I'll gladly do one... Even at 640x480 it
will take 15 mins per frame!

Want to test out my code for just that, and run it on Amazon's ECC? :-)

As others have said, nicely done!
However, I once read on a FAQ on modeling space crafts, that the best way to
show it off is on a completely *white* background. Because while it's easy
to make something look impressive on a black or starry background, perhaps
with sparse lighting, you *know* that it's a good model if you can show it
on a white background and it *still* looks fabulous. Then you can always put
in the black background and moody lighting later. Just a thought.

Sure, I happen to have a render farm sitting right here... It's called
IMP :)

That is an interesting notion, and certainly true. Never thought about it
that way.
Thanks Rune!

Just when you think you at least *know* about all the main
objects and concepts ... I completely overlooked light_groups.
Thanks for mentioning, they sound quite useful ;)

That's a nice idea. But either I got lost navigating the site,
or the only project completed since 2003 is a 15 second logo
for the site itself?

Thanks for all the comments. Its nice to be appreciated!
light_groups only work properly if you put the light_sources directly in the
light_group. They don't work properly if you put your lights inside a CSG
like a union as I usually do...
Taking an example scene with two union, one of which has some internal
lights...
union
{
...
light_source{...}
light_source{...}
}
union
{
...
}
In the following example this will work and render much faster...
light_group
{
union
{
...
}
light_source{...}
light_source{...}
}
union
{
...
}
But in the following example this will work (i.e. the lights will only apply
to the first union) but render in the same time as the first example...
light_group
{
union
{
...
light_source{...}
light_source{...}
}
}
union
{
...
}

Nice tip Rune! Thanks! Will give it a try.

Ask and you shall receive... I have re-rendered it with a white background
and more lighting...

Nah, the Web site needs work.
Go to the IMP Farm Statistics, and you can see *some* of the past
completed jobs.
And the forums are still active - posting there would be very welcome.

Aah! The ship in all its glory!
That looks pretty well detailed to me. I like the hull texture in
particular.
Excellent work for an all CSG product!
