LOL, you'd seriously need to create a low poly version of the entire station for distant shots.

Unless you want to render images so large that they can be viewed from the International Space Station.

**JeffrySG** · 10-23-2007, 05:08 PM

^or better yet! you should rebuild the ENTIRE station as subdivision surfaces and then you can use APS to only render the detail you need..... hahahahah

That should only take 23.56 years....

But seriously that overhead shot is pretty darn cool! It's so easy to forget how MUCH detail and stuff you've got in there!!

**tobian** · 10-23-2007, 08:56 PM

Oh I dunno if I could be bothered to model a low poly version again

that could take ages!

I modelled all the textures so I didn't have to make the maps to fake them.

and what's wrong with rendering images that large... when most of the image is empty space (as the station is rather spindly and leggy) you need them to be large just to make the detail out hehe

yup it's still going like some large space going energizer rabbit

**tobian** · 10-23-2007, 09:21 PM

Haha, yeah I am a bit easily distracted, and the model is now so large that I have to perform maintainance and optimisation drives - which are invisible to you lot, but change how things are done and take weeks of work!

Been doing more work on the inside of the main arm support, and the boom arm segments, and the inside of the boom arm observation area.. it took white a while to make it all work, as there's a little spiral staircase squeezed in there, and I build the segments of the docking arm so they are suitable to be rigged. I am just not sure how yet!

All time taking, and none of it makes pretty pictures

homerpalooza67 · 10-25-2007, 10:19 PM

Yeah, but we only care about the pretty pictures!

homerpalooza67 · 10-31-2007, 04:26 PM

updates?

Starscream · 10-31-2007, 04:48 PM

Please don't keep bumping Homer. If Tobian has any more images I'm sure he'll let us all know.

All you're doing is raising this thread to the top of the list, so that the rest of us think there actually are updates.

**tobian** · 10-31-2007, 07:02 PM

I sure will post them, but no, I have done a little work, but nothing worth rendering yet. Been doing a lot of things lately that have been taking me away from the station I am afraid

Sorry to disappoint those who did think there were updates, but with luck next week I should have something
