This Mech Hanger could be done in a week as a freebie or sooner if I can get the lighting to do its job. This is the Mech hanger about to be a freebie.

Now...I, already have the Mech bay lighting done, and no problems, but did struggle for awhile. But ontop of the Mech hanger is floor (levels), and lighting em, is sure giving me a headache. Arrows show where I have spotlights (8) of em. Dunno how many I should use.

This is how it looks like after render. Not to happy, when to dark. How can I light up this room or level floor (top), using spotlights. I do not want to use a infinite, because I have one for outside of building, as a sunlight.

Played around with the Mech hanger a few days ago while making interior Bay lights.

It sounds promissing

Well, I decided to leave the level floor lighting to users who download and use the Mech Hanger. I struggled with the Mech bay lighting and that was hard enough, and does great. I finished the Mech hanger last night. All I have to do now is take a break, then in a few days will zipp the Hanger to make ready for download for everyone. 😄 

Comes with this Barrier but in other zip file. Two downloads. So just imaging how big the scene will be. People will have to increase camera scale to get full view. The land under it, is in my other free download "Airbase".

And showing how it will look like all together (a few parented props not showing in image will be in download file). In this image, I used a building texture that will not come with the freebie. The texture belongs to a purchased product. Also background sky that is a freebie here will not come with Mech Hanger.

to get 'strip' lights, (if you are using Poser 6 or 7), use Point lights instead of Spot lights in a 'housing' - the housing forces the light into the shape you want and the point lights avoid the 'hotspots' you get with spotlights
