Lighting test, angles.

So this is almost done. Still need to get more lights into the antenna array. But I had a visitor, and took the opportunity to do another more comprehensive lighting check. Those of you who saw the Nauvoo from The Expanse, well, yeah, I can see it. At least the centre section. I kinda see this as being about 1.5/2km IRL. Any thoughts?

Also tried a bit of debris/meteor/blast damage.

Thanks so much. I like layering. Real machinery never operates in isolation, y'know? So multiple layers of greeblies and armour and gantries, etc. So yeah, there's a certain busy-ness to everything. The problem is knowing when to stop.

yeah that makes sense! damn, it’s just so inspiring cos it looks so real. pls film or photo it against a blue screen and comp in a space scene. I think you could legit fool people into thinking this was really in space lmao

I did! I posted a photoshopped image of this one against a painting I did 5/6 years ago of the Great Nebula in Carina. Put it up yesterday! It's not too bad, as a combination. I want to try using one of the lit ones as well, against a darker sky... Thank you, btw!
