        Well new MAC arrived from China yesterday and got delivered to me in work. Havent installed all my software yet and my Thea installation CD's are at home so for now I used kerk.
        rendering at 1200*1000 with AA on full, just a clay render but it took 80 seconds using 8 threads where as my old macbook pro would have been chugging along for about 20-30 mins!

        Anyway here is the space elevator redux for an upcoming PC game mod. Mainly recycling parts for the base and will populate the city by hand but not for a while until work gets a bit less busy.

          Havent had time to do anything with work so busy these past months! Luckily living in hostels and friends floors is over as I just got a house in London at last!!
          Anyway taking some hints from Iron Man enthusiasts I have replaced the rotors on my hellicarrier with some more scifi looking tony stark thrusters.
          C&C welcome

            I balieve that a good aproach would be to also add in some light beacons along the sides, some on the thrusters and a few on the two runways.

            Some of my 3d

              Dont worry they are already made although you cant see them as I have done no renders yet this is just raw sketchup output.

                  Awesome looking models Liam, these should be operational in RC scale?

                    It is possible If you configured the engines and balanced them correctly although would have to be equal power to all six, not sure how you would work it I suppose your the best person from all your RC boats although I am making a spitfire currently:

                      Some quick tests on the samson navy version, toying with the idea of getting rid of the landing skids and have a tricycle arrangement with retractable undercarriage similar to the sea king.

                            Managed to make quite a bit of headway with the interior.

                              Just downloading THEA again, cant wait to get this bad boy rendering properly again on my i7 machine!!!

                              EDIT:

                              Ahh it only took 60 seconds and I had fallen back in Love with it. Its using all my processor power and burning through renders. My old mac book pro would have died after 4 passes!

                                    Cheers Eric. Now I have to get some cool lighting and materials in Thea to really show it off.
