Since about two weeks I'm working on some (huge) steampunk themed project.
And no steampunk image should miss two things: lots of rust and goggles. 
So I modeled goggles in blender to fit the Apollo Maximus figure that is 
used here.
As one of my closeup test render did look quite promising I thought I 
could add the famous backlit-ventilator-cliche (call it a tribute to 
Ridley Scott) to make the lighting more interesting. I imagine a welder 
working back there and think it turned out quite nice.

I've just seen that the new IRTC topic is also steampunk related. But as 
it has also the theme 'time' it will not fit for my project, I'm more 
focused on heavy machinery.

Looks very promising Ive. I love steampunk and moody scenes like this. Is this
just one scene of many (in a series) for your large project?

Yes, join the SPWU and rise up against logically consistent technology!

It looks very good though.  Throw in some superfluous copper pipes, a few Roman
numerals, and I think you've got it!

It started as an exercise in metal & rust textures and blurred 
reflections by using various methods. While adding more 'machinery' it 
evolved into something bigger and meanwhile even includes a Victorian 
style part in the upper area of the city.
With this kind of scene I do not have a 'final' image in mind, it is 
more the fun of creating a whole (small) 3D world and the master POV-Ray
file usually contains only hundreds of 'switches' to select one 
particular camera view, change the time of the day, move objects around 
(people, cars whatever), turn lights on/off and so on...
Those projects are also not meant to be ever finished, usually they 
hibernate at some point (sometimes for years) but I awake them again 
when e.g. my texturing or modeling skills have improved (or I have 
simply upgraded my machine and more computing power available).

BTW is your irtc entry related to Michael Moorcock's 'Eternal Champion'?

Already there ;)
This view is just a particular closeup and most pipes and machinery (and 
Victorian style dressed ladies & gentlemen) are just not visible.

I understand completely; sounds like a couple of projects I've had laying
around for years that occasionally get the dust blown off and polished up a bit
:)

> BTW is your irtc entry related to Michael Moorcock's 'Eternal Champion'?

Oh aye, without a doubt; MM's been one of my favorite authors since I was a lad.
My "Temple of Tanel'Orn" is just a very thinly veiled reference to Moorcock's
Eternal City of Tanelorn. Of course, with billions of similar universes
available to play with I can't let him have *all* the fun, LOL.

Actually, I'm leaning toward a Gran Bretanian steampunk theme for the next
round. I've been playing around with modeling Anachro-futuristic armor, energy
lances, and such; even started an ornithoper a while back. Who knows, maybe
Count Brass or even Hawkmoon himself will make an appearance :)

Yes! The very thing indeed! I had forgotten that image.

MM has been playing on my mind too once in a while....
