It does look a bit like that, only with a modern QWERTY keyboard layout. From what I can tell, the keyboard is on hinges so it can be folded up. Funny how they put so much detail into something that's seen for a few seconds at most. Though I do have my suspicions that the "keys" are a printed sheet of paper.

Been adding lots of clutter over the last week to make the environment feel more realistic and used. Also done a bit more work on the lifts, though references for them are hard to come by.

I'm still thinking of making an animation, but god knows how long that'll take to render!

Very cool

Very nice, you just need a viper to sit in a bay and have a diagnostic, surrounded by wires, tools and gas tanks, very nice details so far!

Excellent clutter.

now if we could only borrow ST's matter replicators and build this thing...looks possible from these fabulous works.

Well cobywan is actually planning on making a real life model of it(using a 3-D printer, I believe) once I put together some orthographic plans. I really can't complete those until my model is more accurate, though.

I tried downloading the Viper from the meshes section, but I couldn't get it to open in C4D, so I'll probably make my own.

I started work on a model of one of the concept sketches a few weeks back, but uni has been distracting me a lot lately!

Thanks for all the compliments.

I'm hoping to use a CNC router to do it.

The ONLY thing you need to make this amazing is some advanced lighting, the basic shadows are killing you. Your work is amazing, mental ray can take it to the next step.

Well some of the lighting in the shots above is intentionally a bit basic, since I don't want long render times just to show the clutter or the latest update to the lifts, but I see what you mean even in the better renders. I'm really a novice, especially when it comes to lighting.

I'm always reading people's messages about the third party renderers they use, but I don't know anything about them. What does mental ray do differently?
