Description
OK, yeah, I've got Carrara which I love for rendering realistic scenes, but I struggled this morning to create a space scene in it, so I fired up Bryce. ANd after a few minutes of me apologising for ignoring it and it saying "I told you" we got down to business and I rendered this pictures.
Certainly possible in Carrara, but at my level, just quicker and easier in Bryce.
The model is based on the old rotating cylinder idea. And inside the tube is quite detailed buildings and stuff, which are totally wasted in this picture
Wings model may be available in the market place eventually.
We had a discussion about why a space ship would be rusty, and after a few suggestions I decided the mostly likely reason was that I liked the texture. Drac found a great texture site, so pop on over to Rendergods.com and I'll share it. ;-)
Thanks for taking time out of your day to look.

Superbly rendered. I remember seeing this type of theory on telly a while back. A self sustained mini world in the cylinder which would allow for major space travel. Basically you could float around the universe forever, generation after generation. I'll stop babbling now. Way cool.

One word, WONDERFUL!

I was about to say that the rotating cylinder habitat is known as a "O'Neill" construct. Just like in Babylon 5. As for the oxidation/rust perhaps a spaceborne microbe (that we haven't discovered yet) could be the cause or maybe a new element. Its a great render, which has inspired conversation on more than one level.
