I knew I wanted loads of ships flying around in this scene, but my machine was starting to get sluggish, so I used this simple jpeg on a sym lattice set to "very coarse". Looks okay at a distance.

Pretty much everything I create I save to my object library, so I have loads of scifi stuff that can be recycled as ships, buildings, mechanical stuff etc.

So there you go, a quick peek into my "creative process", thanks for looking!
