Intro asked some good questions in the comments for my image in the gallery (Space Man Spiffs Workshop) so I thought I'd post them here.

Q:  Gotta go find where you used that boom crane!

A:  The boom crane was a model that I built for one of the Renderosity online magazine articles.  I was doing a comparison for different lighting schemes.  It's an old model.

Q:  BTW how DID you get the crane hose and its supports so spot on (Hexagon??)

A:  I have Hexagon but alas, I've never used it (not even once).  I really need to learn it though as I'm quite sure it can do a whole bunch of great stuff that I could use (and I paid for it!).  Bottom line is that I did the whole thing in C.

Q:  Is that a propane heater on the floor next to the rocket?

A:  Actually, I was trying to make a rocket engine for the rocket in the stand.  My original plan for this scene was to be a rocket workshop but after it served my lighting experiments for the article, I just didn't take it a whole lot farther.  I did use that dorky rocket engine model for other stupid stuff since it looks like a cool machine sort of.

Q:  One question tho...headlights? More like skylights :))  "Five-ish? " NAAH it's a SIX!

A:  The whole scene is lit with two bulb lights in the ceiling.  Soft shadows are turned on and indirect lighting is turned up 100%.  I rendered it with a pretty high quality setting.  Interestingly enough, it only took about an hour to render.
