Description
I wish I could take credit for the basic design. I wanted to make an observatory, but not just a plain old normal observatory, so I did a google search and came accross a poor quality image of an interesting looking design... I think it's from a video game or something... I made a number of changes to it and made this.
What do you think?

Very well done! Good composition, texturing, and rendering! :)
Looks like the Cosmo Canyon observatory from Final Fantasy VII. Awesome game, and awesome choice and execution. The final product is great.
It reminds me of the game Myst: it also had an observatory. Very nicely rendered.
good Gravy Marie!..$110 for a model..now where could you find prices like that?..;) great pic..hope it didn't set you back too much..;)
Great lighting. I agree about Myst. $110.????
Price depends on the amount of work put into it and how detailed an 3D object is. (I think) http://www.turbosquid.com/HTMLClient/FullPreview/Index.cfm/ID/188517/Action/FullPreview Still thinking about that one, would save me lots of time. (AND work) About this 3D object. Nice, but I (personally) don't like the sharpness of the border, where the housing goes over into the vertical rock, also the top part of the rock could be (in my opinion) rockischer and show less sharp poly edges as it has now.
