Description
Like most ships of Starfleet, the Aries also has an Arboretum. Sporting a more unique design than the rest of the fleet, the Zodiac Arboretum is definitely distinct. With support for up to six biomes, the Science team has managed to make several species from across the Federation grow. All designed to help with air purification, they were also chosen for each species appreciation for the plants beauty. Aside from some basic science, and a back-up air purifier, the Arboretum also functions as a another crew lounge along with a place to host visiting dignitaries and VIPs. The front area is kept darker, partly for the Andorian vines, but also to enable more practical stargazing out of the viewports.
Built everything you see here in Truespace except for:
The Ivy was generated with Ivy Generator - an open source app - and is custom wound around the parts of the set.
The rest of the plants are available from various online stores
Rendered in DAZ Studio
More shots of this coming with actual characters in them =)

Thanks so much! Just trying to put together what I wanted to see out of an alternate TOS era ship ;)
I agree with RG19. The sets are so well done I'm running out of descriptive words to use in my comments. LOL Okay, good job. lol
LOL Thanks! Just trying to get that TOS-Enhanced look. Despite their simplicity, there was a bit of thought put into the TOS sets that's hard to not over-do.
