How long does it take to render. Would love to see this animated.

As it is now? Depends on your settings, right now at 720P I am rendering 300dpi in about 15 seconds no GI. I would adjust some settings if this were animated to get the frame render time to around 5-8 seconds. I love animations like that

/me is eager. GI is overkill for some spacescenes tho.

Oh yeah absolutely! GI is intended to mimic how the particulate matter in the air scatters, reflects and bounces light around. That doesn't happen in space - yeah you get some reflectance from surface to surface but not as intensive as an atmospheric shot.

those Modules (Crew?) look great man, the vessel looks fantastic all around.
i look forward to an awesome Scene.
btw is this Extra Solar,Interplanetary or both?

Which modules are you speaking of? The rotating section (living & exercise area's) or the horizontal modules just forward (technical/experiment/mission oriented area)? The central grouping of 18 smaller capsules are small mission modules, designed to be launched shortly before and/or during Mars orbital insertion - the modules contain mission supplies/mission critical gear & equipment that will land in the designated mission area on Mars for later pickup by the crew after they make planetfall.
Prior to the ship ever leaving for Mars a ship will already have been dispatched and a module system and automated equipment will be on Mars preparing the In-Situ fuel & oxygen for the crew's stay and eventual return.
Yep interplanetary - Earth to Mars and back to be precise

talking about both sections actually, the rotating section and the horizontal modules look fantastic man. and i probably should have worded my question better haha.
what i meant to ask was could it be used for extra solar missions if fitted for it< but now that i think about it its probably way too small.
aanyway i now have a bunch of ideas after reading this so ima go build stuffs haha >_<

Thanks man, well yeah it would be kind of cramped. I would assume with today's tech and the assumption that a Nuclear VASIMR rocket would be used (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket) it could feasibly reach the outer planets, but as far as extra-solar journey's, you would be spending a LOT of time in the "black" as Captain Malcolm Reynolds would have put it lol. In fact you would be a petrified fossil before the dead and depleted ship ever reached even the nearest star and by the time it did humanity probably would have already gotten there in faster ships
