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.

Very nice Job! I agree, they need to go back. Did you base this on a actual concept design Nasa is using or is this your own idea?

Since you asked. This is the exact concept as visualized and sold to NASA at this point in time. The capsule will be fairly close to this, the lander is still to be detailed, and the launch vehicle will be derived from Shuttle booster and engine design, but changes are possible anywhere. There are still years of test and development ahead.

An excellent image, and very fascinating news about future interest in the moon.

I had to upload an edit here. While I was not watching Lockheed redesigned the equipment module. I used their (NASA derived) background and rebuilt the vehicle. Updated in LW 9.3 and rendered in FRime 3.01 - 10/07.
