1) Could you try to redirect some of the lighting in your renderings? Right
now, some of the pics are a bit dark and some are a bit too bright.
|
A result of my inexperience with Pov-Ray, I’m afraid. I’ll see what I can do
with the Pov light sources in Ldraw.

2) Although I like the clean surface of this spacecraft, I do think it could
use more “detailing” on the outside. Perhaps you could put some vernier
thrusters on the front, or some sensors.
|
What do vernier thrusters look like? Are they the little ones on the nose of
the shuttle? I couldn’t find any pics. Originally I did have two thruster
grilles on each side of the nose, but I didn’t like the fact that you could see
thru them into the cockpit. The poor people inside would’ve had a hard time
breathing... If you look closely, there’s two nameplates on each side where
they would’ve been. I might go back and make those blue. There’s also a small
comms dome on top using a racer piece, but that may hove gotten lost in the
lighting problems. I tried to avoid too much exterior detailing to make it look
more like a Lear or such. All smooth and shiny.

3) I would love to see the interior of this ship, and you even say it has
toilets, cabinets, etc. Don’t hide the goods my friend! :-)

Here’s looking towards the back of the ship, with a small table in the
foreground:

And towards the front, with the bathroom door in the foreground, then the false
cabinets, and finally the cockpit area in the background:

This is looking down on the toilet, I could only simulate the general shape of
things, unfortunately:

I also made a quick render of the ship with it’s ramp and gear down:

On the whole, nice job Stefan.

Thanks!
Cool crab mech! I like the toes, might make interesting landing gear.

| Stefan, I really like the overall form of this spacecraft. It's very smooth and curvy, which is nice to see in .Space MOCs. A few comments: 1) Could you try to redirect some of the lighting in your renderings? Right now, some of the pics are a bit (...) (20 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
