Nice coloration. Relaxing feel (as well as getting great glass, lighting etc.!)

Thanks Bryan.

Thanks Bryan.

Update. A few more details to go and then ready to render. [image: 8bnH_coastalstation4.jpg]

Thanks Bryan.

Ta Bryan.

Thanks Bryan, yes more views when I improve the texture and put it in a room.

Thanks Bryan but it needs a lot doing to it really.

Looks good!

A very well thought-out work and important findings.... In rendering programs, I would like to have an option to automatically hide geometry outside the camera field of view or objects completely hidden by geometry in the foreground. This is especially useful for camera panning in motion simulations, etc., as the constellation of objects is constantly changing. Of course, this is not possible when objects outside the field of view are required for reflections or shadows.

Thanks Steve, nice to see you around. The projecting thing at the front is the steering column that I need to alter, a laser might be useful in traffic. When I say possibly too small I am talking about radiator air flow and a decent fuel tank. Thing is, as intended this whole vehicle is meant to tip the3 scales at about 600-650kg. The crumple zones are going to be aluminium honeycomb structures at the front and a similar item at the rear incorporating the cat/exhaust can. All of this is getting very tight in the structure so far attempted. However it keeps the brain, whats the word, clock thing.............

Hey everyone! I am proud to announce that Independence Day Animation is now available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOoGKQO4QEg Thank you all for your support! It means alot to me. Enjoy!

Thanks liam, and if your referring to the monolith excavation site on the moon , it;s on the to do list at some point. pbacot, The rock and dirt textures I got from the "Textures.com" site. The sky is a low res HDRI. I think I got that at "CG Skies". Also do my own bump and reflective maps for a lot of the stuff I use. The apes are just 2D cut outs.

I did a breakdown of the layers here. Maybe 118 layers in total grouped into 10 categories here. Used Thea for the reflection pass. I will be doing illustration breakdowns and tutorials with SketchUp at basecamp if I catch any of you there.

Thanks Bryan, better use of texture to finish.

Very nice!

@l i am said: Nice work mate The Rockets on the wall look like they were the inspiration behind the Juicer by Philippe Starck So true! my all time favorite kitchen tool/work of art.

JQL, HornOxx, Really appreciate your comments and input. Plan to mess about with this as time allows, it's good practice I think. HornOxx the background is part of the HDRI. Think the scene would look a little better with a cityscape view out the windows......

Just a quick aside, I am forever being told that when I go for darker shots, they should be brightly lit. Seems folk just do not understand.
