DONE Modeling. I started on the texture, but I don't know if I'll get finished on schedule, it's harder than I thought. But, just working...Not a lot of changes since the last Wiki, so I'll just leave that one on. The only change is that the turrets are gone, pretty much. I did a lot of cleaning up ...

You're right. I'll have to think about defences a bit more, but I'll wait with most of that 'till the mount point system works though. The sledge idea's nice though, and not all that difficult to implement, thanks. Maybe I'll add some gund to the pylons themselves, all along the outside.

OK, I updated the Wiki in preparation for the presentation. It'd be great if I could show the model with Blender, but it's not that important. I've decided to keep the four pillars despite the fact that it reminds people a bit of DS9. It's not my fault they had the same idea! Anyway, the model's pre...

I don't think the effect is bad enough that the player is bothered by it. But I think he WOULD be bothered by a half-screen view. In a fast paced vertical scroller, the action should be in the middle, and the HUD either on both sides, which I would prefer because of the aforementioned farsight probl...

MORE Details?!? Well, OK... Just kiddin, I actually think I'm pretty much done on the tower, but I'm sort of lacking ideas for the arms. I'll implement those I have, but I'd appreciate some more. I'll render some pictures and implement some stuff this weekend, so you'll all have time to get plenty o...

K, I think I got it now.
I've got no idea how that happened. I've seen it before though. When making rendered pictures, it stands out better , at least on big surfaces. If you see one again, please tell me, they are hard to find, and I don't feel like rendering all the surfaces individually...

Thanks for the tip, I think I found all the mistakes.
I updated the tower as well, and added some pictures.

I posted some new pics on the website, https://dev.orxonox.net/wiki/SpaceStationExterior As you can see from the pics, I started modeling the SS. I still have to do a lot on the tower, the top looks too much like a pencil, if you ask me, so that'll definitely change. Also, it's too simple, even for ...

Actually, I originally just thought it looked cool... The swirl and so on. I also noticed that it looked a bit like a galaxy and so I'll use that as the official reason. Here's the practical reason: The original idea was just as a ring, but that was a bit too boring. I was also trying to fit in a do...

So far, I've done nothing... well, not quite nothing. Since the scanner at the ETL doesn't work, I'll put up some of my first sketches of the space station tonight. I'll also add some descriptions. I'm hoping that a lot of people will look at the work so far, and give me their ideas as to how I coul...

This links you to my wiki page, where I will keep you up to date on the development of the space station: https://dev.orxonox.net/wiki/SpaceStationExterior If you've got ideas about what I could change or add to the space station to make it better, please tell me on this forum, and I'll think about ...
