Both of those took a couple of hours to render - I got 3 passes within about 15 minutes or so but I let them cook to aout 25 passes each so the noise wasn't too bad! That's the downside in using montecarlo radiosity!

The longer render was actually the interior shot, because it had total internal light bounce and it was almost completelly lit by the luminous surfaces in the scene! It looks pretty but it's not the fastest or most efficient way of lighting it!

That scene doesn't have all of the model in it, and it's over 1 million polies!

ordinarily a scene like that would take a country week to render in lightwave, without agressivelly optimised lighting (I use area lights and a coloured backdrop , for the radiosity schema). The reason the lighting looks so dull is because I only need the area light set to about 40% - otherwise it overblows the scheme, with all the radiosity bounces!

Great station. Very posable looking. Hope to see the whole thing!

Awesome station!! do you have a blueprint that you can show us, maybe vertical view with a cross section?

**tobian** · 07-25-2006, 12:38 AM

The closest I have to what you want is the original template I made (well with tweaks

) http://comby.star-fleet.org/rotational-section-3b.pdf Which has all the working parts I used, though I have then tweaked the surface objects heavilly!

The last overall render I did was this: http://comby.star-fleet.org/test72.jpg though there is of course lots of missing detail here!

This station has the most insane detail... lol. So ARE you ever gonna finish this beast?

**tobian** · 07-25-2006, 01:02 AM

LOL Cheers guys... Errrrrrrrrrr... Maybe ?

Anyway its not IF I am going to finish it, but how long it takes to render!

Well that's what movies, dates, and drink are good for! They all pull you away from the computer.

This is lovely work and something that can inspire everyone! Props!

Curse my damn Social life from interrupting me making this model.. well that and the occasional spat or boredom.and my other crazy ideas... and... I'm amazed i get any done hehe

Cheers for the compliments!
