Hey folks. Here's one of the animations I did showing an O'Neill Colony - basically a hollowed out cylinder in space. This one is 35km long and 9km across and spins once per minute (if I remember) to provide 1g gravity.

Please repost! Spread the love!

It'd be amazing. You'd see the earth only as an orange ring, its atmosphere lit up by the sun.

Digital illustration of the Moon. We see the lunar far side, with the Earth top left in the distance, and the Sun just behind it.

Pharmacists who recommend homeopathy should be willing to accept as payment envelopes that once contained money.

Good luck, Stuart. I've got my own novel that I have never showed anyone except friends.

I personally hope there are never trees there.

Personally I would have nuked it from orbit but that's just me. And Ripley.

3 different takes of my ramscoop mesh in a yellow nebula.
Not sure which I like most, the close up square one is the most dramatic, but the other two show the craft better...

Blender 4.5x is by far the most unstable Blender I've ever used. from 4.5 to 4.5.3 I am getting constant freezes or crashes.
