3D illustration of a sci-fi Japanese capital

Quick render. A few days ago I posted the Mosquito Interceptor tiny starship, kind of helicopter in shape. Anyway, many people pointed out that it was mechanically like the bubble plane in Oblivion - which was a movie I hadn't even heard of. So I watched it yesterday, it was decent movie. I wasn't inspired by the bubble plane, rather the Tet (alien) station, which was a tetrahedron (an upside down 4 sided die), well I decided to create a space station with two tetrahedrons, one over the other, connected by structural framing pillars.

I call this Erebus Station, a corporate owned facility and waystation with a population of 28,000, mostly scientists and administrative personnel, though it features a full hospital, as it's primary activities involve genetics and bio-hybrid research. Just for scale and more content, I placed the Jack of Diamonds trade ship coming from the right side, silhoeutted by the moon behind it. Erebus Station, though moves slowly, moves from planet to planet and moon to moon within the Tarterus star system. I might do a map of parts of this station... enjoy!

Cool stuff. Seems mapping the interior of that would make for an interesting project.

Had a moment to myself, between commissions, and I thought I'd make another space station, calling this Elysium Station owned by the Aegis Corporation. I used Wings 3D and started with a icosahedron (20 sided die shape), selected all the points, beveled, inset, then extruded them, then mirrored the faces to create the structure. I pushed some of the outward facing struts back in to place hydroponic domes, and left the others as docking ports for ships. All three ships shown will be featured in a Starfinder Starship Deck Plans book I'm putting together, when I have more time. Enjoy!

Really nice. What's the part of the station with the gold edges on the bottom left as you are looking at it?
I dig the mirrored, clean look.

Thanks, Rredmond! The gold edged, boxy shape on the bottom left is a luxury cruise ship docking to the station called the Tsukimi (Autumn Moon in Japanese), which is owned by the Interstellar Yakuza with casino, bath house, brothels, kabuki theater, fighting arena, black markets, fine restaurants and more.

So my internet has been down since yesterday about noon - no TV either. But it's running now. While it was down yesterday, I decided to do a 3D illustration for something I might make into a project - ships, equipment, armor, weapons for Colonial Marines for Starfinder. I created a 3D monster model and hadn't gotten to use it yet. So I did this illustration. Everything was modeled in Wings 3D, and then textured, lit and rendered in Vue Creator... enjoy!

Now on to making some vehicles, weapon systems, equipment, personal weapons and armor for the Colonial Marines Starfinder supplement I'm working on. This is the SPARTA artillery system - (Self Propelled Auto Roving Tactical Artillery system) I haven't done the stats yet, and I'll do a combat car, tank, war bike, submersible, though I've already done a dropship last month. Enjoy!

Last 3D illustration for the night. This is the CERBERUS Colonial Marine Light Armored Combat Car - will stat later. Because I named the dropship I did a few months ago, the Achylles, a Greek Hero, I thought I'd keep with the Greek nomenclature...enjoy!

Now I'm doing Marine personal weapons, seeing a wall of weapons and armor is kind of an expectation for RPG guides, especially one that has to do with Colonial Marines. So here's the M90 marine plasma assault rifle, the M95 marine micro-railgun sniper rifle, the M900 Devastator portable particle cannon (note: an anti-grav unit under the nozzle allows a soldier in power armor to lift this thing for use), and the M49 marine pistol. Working on a carbine then grenades next.

I also created a Pegasus Grav tank and redid the Prodromos Scout Bike as a grav bike...

Enjoy!

Just created another one, a carbine energy weapon of some sort - I haven't figured out which, yet. The design throws me, as I've made plasma weapons and particle weapons, and they don't look anything like this...

Also some hand-grenades - enjoy
