Amazing work.
How does metal rust in a vacuum?
Or is it just worn and brown and stuff from...wear?
Or should I just stop asking questions and marvel at it?

Thank you very much.
I don't think it's rust, it's just the colour of the surface. The weatherig is probably due to micro-meteorite impacts (I don't think there is a deflector in this thing...)

It's awesome. And to pick up on a couple of other comments and you saying you "only put two meshes together". Perhaps, but that's not only it. It's the perspective, angle, the background an idea that make it unique. Finding the right angle and zoom percentage and positioning things to make them look epic is the hardest part. I know what that's like!

Nice, very nice indeed. I have always thought that when artists do spacedocks and star bases that they look poor compared to the starship they put in it but your dry dock looks great, reminds me of The Motion Picture it's that good!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, but I haven't built the dock. It was Roland "Roliba" Baron.

Ugh...this is too good. It's the kind of thing that makes me want to crawl in a hole and become invisible

Hey, I only put two meshes together. It's no talent. You have talent, I don't have it.

But your render quality is so much better than mine

Thank you very much. The angle came with a pre-built camera setting

By the way, what program do you use to render these? I seriously need to learn it x.x And lord knows it isn't Bryce, heh.

I've heard of Trekgasm. Like when I first saw pictures and fan videos of the Kelvin.
