Description
As much as I liked my previous post, especially the new modules that I made, I found myself wanting to revisit the thing in a slightly more dynamic way. I had envisioned the station as not yet complete, and I'm not sure I really pulled that aspect off. I was thinking about how to make that clearer, and then realized "Because nobody's working on it, stupid!" which leads easily to this one. Two ships towing additional parts toward the station. I also adjusted the colors of the planet to help them stand out more clearly. Too much blue-grey and it all blends together.
The ships and station parts are all modeled in Bryce. Most of the surface materials are my own creations, but the framework parts are one of the presets, and the ships towing were originally modeled years ago, so I'm not really sure where all of their materials came from, to be honest.
Thanks for looking, and comments/critiques/suggestions are encouraged.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Very cool scene You could call the first image an artist's concept of the completed station
Excellent! The assemblers are a great touch! But are there no nice shiny livable planets in your universe?
Great modelling and overall scene...like the colour scheme and textures!
Ah, there we go, now I get it all! Great job or revisiting this and picking out what was needed to make your point better understood.
wonderful
I did like the 1st scene very much, but I did look for the station under consruction. Adjusting the colors of the planet did make it stand out better. Keep those post coming.
Amazing composition, so much depth,beautiful work, well done my friend,Geoff.
Fantastic, this really shows what you had in mind. Corre
Fantastic composition superb sc fi scene !!
Very nice compo and ships, that indeed uses your station in a very lively way ! Just a small remark, a first I thought the towed parts were part of the towing ships themselves. Making them stand out more would clearly tell they are not. Maybe adding a 3rd part near the station, with no towing ship but a cloud of small workbees, could also be a possible path to help distinguish them. But this could easily crowd too much the pic. However, it's a wonderful pic in itself ^-^ Keep on giving us great insights into your future universe ! We want more !
Nice work! I'd say the same things that Mutos... but I like this pic!
wonderful space work and ship details
It is so very cool when on reflection a building of the concept happens, bravo, this work succeeds remarkably, well done my friend!
Yep - there's my room... The module being towed by the tug at the top... Second unit from the right. Hope they remembered my recliner, and I hope the galactic-internet speeds are decent way out here.... Another EXCELLENT piece, Mike! This is a great addition to your last post, and it really does give it that "still being constructed" feel with the additional modules heading for the station. Just perfect! They do have coffee on that station, don't they?? :-D
Those space tugs are among the coolest of the cool that you've created thus far.
EXCELLENT!
I like this quite a lot and I get the impression of a Jerry Goldsmith score playing in the background, similarly to the manner in which such music (by that composer) played during the Star Trek: The Motion Picture as we saw the Enterprise receiving the finishing touches of its refit. This has a greater sense of scale than that: Star Trek has always been somewhat vague in terms of scale and location. I particularly like the tow-ships in this scene and the station components moving into place! This adds a marvelous human element to the image, though there are no humans to be seen. Ah, but they're implied and that's what adds such wonder to this shot. Marvelous!
IM so sorry im so behind with comments, i swear people hate me now LOL, this is brilliant, your so accurate with your boleans and prim placements, i can see a lot of work went into this, just awesome my friend.
