Okay, this one is the reason I haven't posted in so long. It took 3 days just to render it. Mostly created in Carrara 5 pro, except the terragen background image..I crashed windows a record 48 times before the last render worked. When I upgrade my system next year I am going to do a higher resolution version with more detail and the city starport in the image. Here we see a nice view of a Sparrowhawk class cruiser leaving South City Starport which is just south of the main archology complex of the Imperial Dominion's capitol city Relanne City. The homeworld of the dominion Relannae is an enormous planet, and as such, her cities are scaled to fit. You can see the central city complex, the ancilliary domes, spire complexes and the city defense towers in this image. To give you an idea of scale, each of the levels you can see in the central complex saucer is seperated from the ones above and below by 2.5 miles. Each level is a city within a city, with its own unique flavor. You can also see the Imperial Palace at the very top of the central complex, protected from the elements by a protective dome. Do not be fooled by the scale difference of the 5.5 mile long Sparrowhawk and the city in it's background. The sparrowhawk is much much closer than the city in this image.
