A quick break

 

Lens-Sim and True-Terrain-5

I made really good progress on the lander, so this morning, I created a little nature scene.

Lander

Some extensive rebuilding and mesh clean-up:

The engine pivots are now less stick-out after the engine root block was embedded within the engine using some boolean magic.

The command deck's viewing ports were rebuilt, and the cabin was carved out.

I'm toying with the idea of renaming the Embrae to Manta. A medium VTOL transporter

Quite a lot of surface details improved along with clean-up and consolidation.

It feels like we're on the last leg of a long tour. What remains to do:

• The cargo container needs some work around the hull's edges. I may build a seam line.
• Some hull details - complete the lamps. Add some more lights.
• The access ramp (at the back) needs building out.
• Final engine details,  some greebles around the thruster nozzle's root.                                                                                                                              

Then, some texture painting. Maybe I'll experiment with those cool normal-map decals.
