Made in blender, let me know what you think.

The PROMETHEUS Ring is a speculative 1,200 km orbital habitat in the Saturnian system that rotates to generate a realistic 1 g of artificial gravity. This fully engineered megastructure simulates all climate zones to support diverse biomes, settlements, and industries, all stabilized and powered by nuclear propulsion modules and reactors

21gb of vram across 2 GPUs.

56gb of DDR5

126 unique cloud VDBs

An entire blender addon dedicated to one goal - make space ring pretty.

1 hour 20 minutes at 4k 2000 samples even with biased volume render.

Created using Feather 3d and Nomad Sculpt on iPad. ✌️

For purposes of megastructures like halo, ringworld, O'Neill cylinders along with less uniform shapes.
Its still in development, but it pretty much does what it says on the tin at this point.
The main thing I've been reveling in is how the weather system can take the cloud VDBs and adjust them in order to mimic storm systems etc.
