Hi, my name is Karl Stöcker, and I was born a long time ago, way too long, in Berchtesgaden, Germany, grew up in Düsseldorf, and since 1966 have been in the US (mostly). I've traveled a lot, 46 countries by this time, and I am planning on many more. I've spent a couple of decades in the US military, active and reserve, and since retirement from civil service, worked off and on as a high school science teacher in a suburb of Sacramento. Ever since my original ID's Doom days, back when it was just released on a floppy disk as a free level advertisement, I was interested in learning about 3D CGI, but I didn't get started until I retired from civil service in 1996. Since then I have been working with Truespace, Bryce, then Lightwave 3D, and Vue. Also dabbled a little in Poser 4, but just bought Poser 6 and am starting sink my teeth into that a bit. My website, http://www.cosmic-pearl.com/, has more details on me, should anyone not be bored to tears by now, also there are LW Viking ship and Star Wars X-Wing tutorials, as well as downloadable meshes (which can be imported into Vue, BTW) - my free stuff to the CG community.

Fantastic modelling work, but the walls seem too much like a white-clay style rendering. Adding some shiny sections or playing with bump maps and so on would help immensly.

Great render. Love the lighting.

Nice modelling.

Nice bright lighting, good scene. I'm a little unsure about the incomplete pipe around the hatch though - the dark gap looks a little odd.

Thanks, for the comments. If was a fun scene to build. All of you get to do the same or similar exercises yourself, and much better. That's why I give my models away. I have cleaned the R2 mesh up yesterday, and will repost it this weekend at my site.

Great R2D2 model! And I really like the floor material, though I wouldn`t expect usage of polished stone in a star ship which probably should be as light as possible:)
