Hi guys ! Have been toying with Blender a lot over the last 6 months, learning how to use it mostly. I have been working on this station for months with bits and pieces found on the Artstation site and about 80% of my own creation. Finished with a model that was several GBs in size, 39 different textures in the obj. model, lots of luminous objects, 750,000 triangles/faces. Had several crashes manipulating the thing...... so now know the limits of my old Macpro. To be able to use some of the veggies tgo so well handled in Terragen, I fitted the station with a top botanical garden of sorts with thousands of trees. It will help clean the air, produce cheap oxygen for those living there and permit the inhabitants to enjoy a stroll in nature ! The top disk with the plants is just over a kilometer in diameter and has several pavement alleys. I include a render of the station and a view from the botanical gardens with a camera smack in the middle. The difficult thing to get that latter render was lighting. Besides a sun, an AO and a GI, there are 5 light sources for the gardens and 1 for the Enterprise-D that decides to breeze in for a closer look. Hope you enjoy and take care all ! Paul
