This was created as a 21st century colony ship for Mars. It's capacity is between 10,000 and 20,000 colonists. It has a crew of about 100. The colonists live in the "fins" which rotate about the core to create artificial gravity. The bridge zone and command section (forward) has no gravity.

Render made in Blender.

- Ship is my design.
- Planet textures were created by someone else, but the originate with NASA photographs. I have no idea who made them anymore - I got them over a year ago.
- Ship textures are my own.
- Nebula is my own.

Nice to see a Blender supporter out there . So, the gravity would be Mars gravity, right?

Not sure...it would probably be set as a transitional gravity so that the colonists adjust over the trip from Earth to Mars.

Verry nice... If I might be so bold, though... is it possible to use gradient maps for transparency in Blender? Because if it is, there should be a way for you to improve the look of your martian atmosphere.

You can, but I've never had great luck getting good transparency effects in Blender.

I don't have a martian atmosphere map unfortunately - the only atmosphere I have is for earth...which would look odd on mars
