Description
The orbital Yards and Space port of Men Kalinan are the biggest and busiest facilities outside the Sol system - and, as Men Kalinan lies less than 15 LY from the edge of Jackaani space, it is also the heaviest defended. Armed ships patrol local space constantly, so a mix of military and commercial traffic is often seen - a sight unusual elsewhere.
WIP - I think I might animate this. Trouble is, the volumetric lights have pushed the render time up to over 2 hours a frame, so it might take some time.. ;)
Bryce and Poser. Some of the ships came from web sources like 3dCafe, some modelling done in ImagineFW and the rest in Bryce.
28/9 - Re-uploaded, slight changes to foreground ship pose and added guy watching from left.

Terrific work RedSteve. I'm a Wing Commander fan and really like this. Sounds like you need to upgrade to Cinema 4D or Truespace. Both render volume lights way quicker than Bryce.

How strange to see fan blades in space.. even volumetric light means atmosphere, or gaz... Anyway.. it's a very good work here

Pidjy, Thanks for the comment. I was waiting for someone to mention the fans! This is the pressurised side of the spaceport - through the holes (contained by fields) is the vacuum side. As you mention, can't have light beams without atmosphere...:)

I like the image and the idea behind !

great image, as for animating, try replacing beams with cylinders with cloud plane material, animated images can get away with less detail, c ould also apply a lense effect in post.... might help reduce render times

Wonderful work! Very cinematic!
