Not to take up all the comments section, and this is certainly in no way a critique, as I may have said before I have no way of working such magic as this. However, I have some further technical questions. The two buttes in the foreground seem to be the only outcroppings as far as the horizon. For a starbase, this seems rather a sparse and lonely backwater. Did you imagine it to have large underground facilities, or is there a port facility in orbit? This world as an almost a primordial sense about it. I could imagine some brave souls base jumping, rock climbing, or even undertaking Human powered flight depending on the specific gravity on this world. Of course, the starbase facilities would have normal artificial gravity generators, as the ships do. And again the geology still intrigues me. I gave up counting the stratigraphic layers after one hundred.

This is really interesting geology. Like Monument Valley, but in a much more temperate climate that bespeaks grassy prairies or coastal savannas. And yet there are no trees, or even shrubs to be seen. Still, quite a place for a perch. Great image.

I have Vue, but like Carrara better. It's easier to work with, even if Vue is better (like Max and LW).

I should give Carrara a try.Im still studying Max.Max is mind boggling.I think the Space Shuttle would be easier to operate,Lol.I got Bryce,but Vues easier is work with.Bad thing about the new version of Vue is you cant Import PoserPro into it anymore.

Freaking epic man.

A Starbase atop a plateau!

Well made man.

Yer welcome!

With a little more work (five or six more buildings, a bridge connecting the two flats and three or four more shuttles) this would look more impressive.

Ah. I love that fresh non-Terran air.
Excellent work. Great atmospherics and I love how the starbase is just a tiny part of the natural landscape.

I'm glad you like it.

Ever since I saw these flat top mountains in Carrara, I wanted to do a pic like this
