Description
Watching Sci-Fi programs, sometimes we don't fully realize the size of some of these spaceships. The Sith Fury Interceptor, since it has only appeared in a video game (and maybe some graphic novels?) is a good example. It is 100 meters in length, and most of us Americans don't easily visualize 100 meters as we do English measurements. 328.084 feet or one and a fourth (American) football fields in length. Still it is good to see in perspective. So using DAZ Studo, I calculated that, as the standard work window grid is a meter long. If you look very close by the front landing gear on this rendering of the Fury, you'll see two tiny figures which are actually rather tall (nearly 6') Sith ladies proudly standing outside their ship. The size is proportional to the dimensions of the Fury. By the way, I found that Blender has a way to export textures into a separate file so you can use them in programs like DAZ Studio, so this Fury has the original textures instead of the IRAY mods that I included on my first rendering. Pretend that the ground is one of those huge landing platforms on Coruscant and not simply a DAZ primitive with a concrete texture added in. This rendering is 3000 by 1860 pixels in size, which is larger than my usual 2500 by 1550, so if you click several times on the image, you will be zoomed in more.
