I'm not sure what all to say about myself, I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA) and work as a graphic designer/computer technician for a print shop. I have a BS in Historic Preservation, but wasn't willing to go on for a Master's Degree, nor was I interested in teaching, so I found another career. I discovered Bryce way back when version 1 came out, but I didn't really get serious about the program, or 3D art in general, until a few years ago. When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm either making costumes or wearing them to a renaissance festival, or building a new rock-sculpture, or possibly wandering with a camera.
When I'm not making something, odds are I'm reading from my far too wide range of interests: Astronomy, Cosmology, Physics, Archeology, Anthropology, History, Current Events, NASA (of course) and anything else that happens to catch my attention. It's really hard to find enough time to do all of the things I want to be doing! What drew me to Renderosity is the many excellent artists who continue to inspire me to push myself as an artist. More recently I've added a selection of stuff to another online gallery location:http://nefariousdro.deviantart.com/Â

It is a certainty today ... the survival of humanity is due to his own genius. In effetn regardless of risk of collision in 2026 with a giant asteroid, the death of our sun 4 billion years, does the sun; development activities of the chonosphère will force humanity to leave its magnificent spaceship to emigrate to another galaxy! The Earth, by its ideal place will be extended by gravitational forces, while charred on living cells ... the problem compounded in the distant future, the clash of our galaxy with the Andromeda galaxy! What our species struggle for life in the future hundreds of years ... Thank you for this wonderful example of exploratory spacecraft ...

Excellent modelling and engine flare effects,love the sense of speed in this!

Can we turn back, please? I forgot to pack a toothbrush... Excellent model.

Nice model of a realistic spacecraft.

Great pic, story and explanation! Nice work!

Excellent modeling! I like this design - it's got radiators and the crew is far away from the reactor. Do those pods double as landers? I've read about putting a demonstration VASIMR on the IIS for reboost (you can get a few tens of kilowatts of the solar panels) but with the shuttle getting grounded, I'm not sure how they're going to launch such a thing.

I was most surprised and pleased at your dedication of this render to me; and especially happy to think something I said influenced your creation of this fabulous model. Thank you! Do do believe someday you'll come up with a tethered ship model that we both will like, but in the meantime this will certainly do.

A great interpretation of this sci-fi model! Such a wonderful, overwhelming feeling to look at this... and ponder what is out there... the outer limits.... fantastic presentation and composition!

EXCELLENT.

NICE, modular design!!! David

Fantastic design. NASA should tap you for inspiration, especially since our own limited fleet of space shuttles is heading to the mothball yards next year. I love this design and I wonder what the crew on board must be thinking as they head off to Mars. Trivia fact: Russia has a 100% failure rate with reaching Mars...well...a Russian (then Soviet) probe did manage a fly-by as intended, but it was during a globe spanning Martian dust storm, so that mission was essentially useless. Everything else Russian that went towards Mars either crashed, exploded, disappeared or otherwise failed in its mission, at least up through the 1990s. American spacecraft using Russian-made parts also failed. How weird is that? I bring this up because I wonder who manufactured this particular beauty? Your attention to detail is stunning and wonderful, right down to the support struts for each of the crew modules. I suspect that a whole lot of anti-nausea training got tucked under the crew's collective belt as well...since there is no ring connecting the modules. The only way from work stations to crew quarters, etc would be to "climb" from spin-gravity sections, enter the nil-gravity core, then "descend" back into gravity. NASA's been looking at ship designs since they got a load of the Alexei Leonov in the movie 2010. The most cost efficient designs for such vessels all have that stomach-flutter feature. I particularly like the presence of it here. It's such a mirror of what we already know and what we're already taking tentative steps toward achieving. And well...I've rambled on enough so now I'm going to just shut up!
