Hello to everyone at the Renderosity community. If there is one place that I can say has helped me the most to better my understanding and ability with 3D art, Renderosity is it. As a whole, the community is quite friendly and, for the most part, helpful.
So, I would like to say thanx for all of the helpful suggestions, comments, ideas, and the freebies.
Bio: Well, I am not a professional artist. Actually, I am an engineer. I started in 3D by helping an associate with a work project in Bentleys MicroStation. I found it interesting and looked into other programs on the Macintosh platform. I experimented with Bryce, Poser, Infini-D, Amapi, and Cinema 4D. Currently, I use Poser to pose my human meshes, Cinema 4D to create, pose, and render meshes and scenes, and Photoshop for post-work.
I strongly suggest anyone just getting into 3D, or 2D, art to take a look through the tutorials on this site for great tips and ideas for your work. I have also found that other artists within the community are more than happy to answer questions, provide examples, offer suggestions, and share work with their peers. What can it hurt, drop them an IM or e-mail and ask.

Hmmm, the lighting in the bays ends up making your ships look a bit flat. Maybe tone it done or set it up so there's a bit more shadow? Also maybe you could add some small illumination objects for lights or whatever inside?

The first one is cool. Since you are not constrained by gravity or up and down, I could imagine a ship sitting in a docking bay like that. Makes me think you could do some great motion control type moves with your camera/model depending on what you have in mind and what kind of time you have. So far so good. Cheers!

Isn't that the Hammerhead from Battle From Beyond The Stars in the top dock? Sad of me to know that one, but who cares?

Nod: No, it's a Rebel Blockade Runner from Star Wars. It's like the one called Tantive IV from the very beginning sequence of Star Wars A New Hope (Star Wars Episode IV). It's also called the Corellian Engineering Corporation Corvette. Sad that I know THAT!! :-(

Denb, I feel your pain. It shows our age. As for the scale, I looked up the ship's sizes on other websites and technical references from Lucas at the book store. They are to scale. The Corvette was suppose to 150 meters, the medium or Rebel transport 90 meters, and the Action VI freighter 125 meters. The space station is not suppose to be on a scale with the Death Star. It is suppose to be much smaller. Like a general space port or something about 1000 meters in diameter. Thanx for the comments guys/gals.
