(RoW March 26 – April 1)

Galaxy Port 518 was my entry for the recent contest on C3D. This scene pushed my PC to the limit.

I started off by constructing the port base with Vue primitives. I also created an area light and duplicated it multiple times and placed them around the port base. I placed Poser objects on the port to finish it off.

There are 469 objects in the scene and 109,772,706 polygons. The crates around the port are made up of ecosystem materials. I posed the aliens and robots in Poser and created an ecosystem of them in Vue.

The atmosphere was quite fun to create in Vue 6. I played around with spectral cloud layers for a bit and lighting.

The render took almost 11 hours and 40 min.. I slightly blurred the image and added the flames in Photoshop to finish. Enjoy!

   Wow, that looked very hard to make.
