            did some more work on it today while bored in lectures>>> There are a lot of small details that just dont show in podium renders is there a way to refine it somehow maybe change the light settings so you can see everything? Or do I have to just scale up the render size?

              Nnice work Liam! Maybe after you do the render you can do a line overlay in Photoshop so the details will go out more

                  yeah I did what you said 32' and the line overlay does work better, decided to so a more cartoony look and put extra lines in.

                    Missing a few little details, changed the configuration a bit but thinks it looks better this way round.

                            Very nice collection Liam.

                            You're a busy fellow!

                            One odd thing though, that walkers profile is quite suggestive. 🀣

                            By the way, your elevator made me think of a game I played 7 years ago or so, called I-War, Independence War.
                            Far and away the most physics-realistic game...probably to this day. Anyway, it has a cool elevator in the game.

                              Been busy with uni but just got past the first deadline so nothing to d for a while. Been working on a more realistic model maybe set a hundred years from now.
                              All the physics is about right so far taking into account the spin of each floor in each module to create so some gravity that is comfortable for humans, the right types of fuel and how much is needed verses the ships weight, how many radiators etc, I dont have a clue myself but some people cleverer than myself have done a lot to tell me what goes where lol.
                              Anyway here it is with a bit of PP in photoshop to get the details out. Its about 100ft high and 650 ft long at the moment, but its far form done and this wil only be a small part of the finished model.

                                hahahaha didnt even clock on to that I didnt put a little articulated arm there for that same reason lol. Ahh well once the bulldog rails and lights are on it might look less like a penis!

                                EDIT: ahh yeah I checked out the video of the elevator it looked good especially when it goes through the clouds. You tube tho at the moment is a nightmare. I know my internet is fast but you tube takes years to buffer even the smallest videos, i can stream HD form the BBC download a game form steam in minutes but youtube is sooooooo slow. I know its not just me ive been reading all over the internet about people with similar problems.

                                          Hey by the way sepo is there a way to do bump maps in podium? Ive got a really good texture for the solar panel cells and ive made a bump map but have no idea how to make it work!
