Does anyone have any help for me? I'd like to know what people think about this one in advance.

Thanks all!

hmm..I'd put a different texture on the roof, but the rest looks pretty good, mebbe some greenery (like I should talk..;)

I like it - it's very Myst-like. What would be even cooler would be to be able to see the reflected scene on the side of the the telescope a bit more clearly.... :o)

Oh I see, thanks. I'm also a huge fan of Myst (beat it when I was 9 years old) and so I've been trying to get that style right.

Yup on the MYST front. I'll bet that turret rises up from the top of the island...? I'd lose the tree and perhaps change the mat on the speedboat....apart from that...I just don't know....

i like the texture on the rocks. maybe needs some bump. with the tree, id like to see it over the top, even add greenery dripping down the sides of the center pillar type rock.. like long tentacles of thick groth. could be a good tie in with the butterfly, like thats where his going as the person inside is watching come closer. the vent/engine thingy, hmmm.. id go straight up invisible floating rocks.. might as well. unless its the tech thing you would like to try out.. then i would go with lots a cable, swinging everhwere n stuff... and the cone doesnt work.. do sheres or metabals (b5) if you can. i like the water, id love to see the sky. maybe you need to pull back the lens a bit. wider i mean. i think if you remade the telescope, youd be able to get the same kinda ficheye feel with just the camera, (then be able to open up the sky in the background)... which would look sweet with a nice sunset behind there, maybe the sun slightly obscured by that building or something... hmmm... hmmm... could boolean some bits out of the side of the center and put in some dome type glass... im running out... but i could just go on and on...

haha! i just noticed the guy running down the bridge to get to his ship! lol is the big bad butterfly coming to land on his observatory!? rofl! neeeds to stop drinking and trolling

wow great advice! I'll be back in a few weeks with the result...
