Satellite / Space Station

[eldo]

This is my actual WIP. A Mix of a Satellite and a Space-Station.
Its a 170m long and has a width (including the solar-panels) of approximately 230m.

There are 2 Bays for dropships, a third bay for repairing the dropships, such as 4 bays for The Escape Pods.

Taking his Energy of a Nuclear Reactor ,implemented in the Satllite´s "bottom", the Satellite is able to hold its Position in the Orbit for a period of 20 Years.

The Solar-Panels are the Satellites Energy-Backup-System, so the Satellite can be kept "running", when the reactor is getting repaired.

facts:
70K Polys for the Satellite itself
40k for the Escape-Pods (4)
50K for the dropships (2)
120K for Nurnies an other Detailsets

Modelling Time: 7-8 Hours

its really amazing. i like your level of detail!!!!!

do you want to animate it??

keep it up!!

[eldo]

thx goose :)..
animation.. have to think of, but ... yepp.. wanted to make one. just need some time ;)

btw. this is NOT tha final LoD. My Poly-Budget is about 500-600K Polys. and theres still a lot of time to go on nurnying ;)

if you guys have some Nurnie-References, maybe sreenshots of FinalFantasy or stuff.... PLEEEASE!!! do me a favour and post it

Really good work!

Is the earth a background image or a sphere with textures? I agree with goose, an animation would be really cool! :ufo:

[eldo]

yepp.. the earth is a textured sphere.
I used the BlueMarble textures (8K). Just got the 22k textures, but my cinema seems like not wanting those :roll:

Really cool work! Detail is awesome!

But you have to animate it, it would be great to see this little thing moving around the earth...or maybe around another planet :ufo: :ufo:
