Another satellite that I built from a reference image. Of course I beefed it up a bit.
-mental ray
-210,000 polys (non-optimized)
-lanzcos filter 1 min 16 max
-medium fg setting
-HQ reflective glossy/refractive setting
90% of the model was built upon subdivisional modelling - using turbosmooth and edge loop techniques. The other 10% was spline modelling.
I also used After Effects in post.
The model took around 4 hrs to complete.
Thanks :)
