Astro Lab

[Dr_Rendesvous]

Beginning stage for some kind of radio telescope/astronomy lab complex. Need a low polygon tree that casts a decent shadow. Tried to make my own (by cutting up a simple sphere) but Oi! what a pain. Any ideas on how to landscape a scene without bogging down sketchup?

Cool as hell design, the radial windows are brilliant, never seen those before, good work thus far!

[Dr_Rendesvous]

Thanks, dude. Hopefully I'll pick a final camera angle that showcases them a little.

Ya I am really liking the flow of those windows as well. I am fond of designs where the lines are pulled through the structure continuously to create the overall form.

There are several good way of making trees. I'll try and get a tutorial up eventually. Bit swamped atm. Maybe by next weekend.
