This is all incredibly cool stuff.

Can you give hints as to your lighting & texturing strategy?
Is it radiosity? ambient, etc. etc.
thanks.

I think I just chose colors wisely. I'm just using a single point light without
any special properties. No radiosity or media. If I were to illuminate the
central scene with the overhanging lamp as it actually should be it would
probably look crappy and bleak/stark. At least, that's what happened last time I
tried.


Good luck!

Mike

Also, does anyone have a robotic arm model? I need something to move crates in
the shiphold.

Time to close it and do a radiosity render using the bright central beam 
as your light source.

Now that I can more clearly apreciate the intended dimentions, my 
initial comments about transportation are getting even tronger. It's 
conciderably less tham 1 Km in length. On foot, you can probably go from 
just about anywhere to anywhere on an average of about 10 minutes. I 
also think that the maglevs tracks soult turn when they reatch the end 
caps. If not, then there must be terminal stations at those points.

The inside windows in the end cap must curve inward MUCH more to resist 
the air pressure. Even if there is air between the hull and iner shell, 
it's needed to prevent them bursting in case of a catastrophic hull breatch.

If the space between the iner shell and the hull is presurised, then the 
outher windows will need to bulge out like gigantic bubbles similar to 
the geodesic domes you already have.

My original plan was to have the tracks loop around to the left for a while and
then continue in the opposite direction on the adjacent track. But I'm probably
not going to model that very soon. Maybe later.

I will see about curving the glass more as that's relatively simple to do. The
space between the two hulls is not pressurized, BTW. The outer is to protect the
inner from harm.

Thanks again!!

Just for archival purposes: earlier on, you posted using a different 
e-mail nick - as since 2000, I keep a private archive of p.b.i. images 
with one folder for each artist, I stored your earlier pictures under 
that name. But I currently don't remember what name it was - can you 
help me out? Then I would merge the new "posfan12" folder with the old 
one...

See you in Khyberspace - www.khyberspace.de

Nasa has a Canadarm model on its 3d resources gallery

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/3d_resources/assets/Canadarm.html

Not sure how useful that is, the preview image
doesn't look too spectacular.

I was hoping more for a prototypical rotoarm - maybe something like you'd find
on a desktop or small manufactury.

Added a robotic arm, a scale showing the units of dimension, and adjusted the
size of some of the ships.
