Description
My most complex ever CGI model, based on a whole mass of photos I took of the real thing. The model was made in Lightwave, and this render was done with the model imported to Vue.
This is the Mark I radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, with a proud history of discovery and tracking key probes from the early days of the space program.

Stunningly realistic. The wide-angle sunset silhouette is spectacular. Are you going to post some day-time renders? I hope so!
Steamzone - I certainly could do. It started as a labour of love, and took me about 6 months to model - in some areas it goes right down to the level of rivets! The staff there will be using a couple of renders in the new visitor centre when it opens, which was deeply satisfying. I've been away from Renderosity for a tyear or so, and I have a backlog of material to post.
Beautiful, superb modeling. 5*
Really nicely done! Congratulations.
A tremendous achievement, so much detail and realism. Congratulations on getting it into the visitor centre.
Great work, love the model too, wish more users knew how much work goes into making these models...
