Description Correct lighting, shadowing, Enterprise and docking nozzle position. Now that's more like it


Enterprise by Dennis Bailey (My comp would never have the capacity to render such shadows on the WJaspers ΓΌbermesh)
Drydock by Roliba

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.

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