dang bro, those lights look awesome! Im still not sold on the scale of it(maybe more lights??) but it does look great. Far beyond what i can do.

ya I know what you mean. I think what really hurts the sense of scale is my crap greeble.

This is literally my first attempt at greebling anything other than a few bits and pieces. I tried reducing the size of the "windows" but the tend to disappear altogether when I do, leaving you to ask where all the light is coming from in the first place. lol. I'll probably just have to chalk it up to experience and learn for next time. The main things I learned in this project is 1: Always make greebles half as small, and twice as dense as you think you need them, and 2: Max Arch&Design materials don't like 2nd bounce light from illuminated materials.

Next project I do will have everything I learned from this project, and have all new problems.

anyway, I finally managed to download the Atlantis mesh, and I'll post an update as soon as it renders.

ok, comparison shot I spoke of.....

[edit] not credited in the picture (will edit now and replace) but the Atlantis mesh is SGA-3ds.

Cool!!!

I like to station but does it need to be soooo. . . huge?

-Raynor- · 07-19-2008, 03:32 PM

The question is why does Atlantis need to be so small :-)

Ze Aratloss · 07-19-2008, 04:51 PM

i think the size of it is cool. You could probably fit 50 asgard ships in each hangar. But as a huge fan of the city of Atlantis I think it should be bigger than the scale you've given it. Keep it up...its awesome!

Davide_sd · 07-19-2008, 05:03 PM

it's the bigger station i've ever seen. It's like a moon...

indeed, u could have like the entire asgard race sit inside that thing. (before they killedthemselves obviously)

i think it needs to be downscaled a bit.. or atlantis upscaled or something

looks fantastic though
