I’m starting with the rotating gantry, here are the old and new versions of the hub:

Wernher von Braun’s RM-1 spaceship design
As you may have noticed, I love the designs from the dawn of the space age, particularly the fifties designs of Wernher von Braun.
This one is the RM-1, which includes the ‘bottle suit’, something halfway between as spacesuit and a spaceship, with a ring of articulated arms, complete with a selection of tools. Seriously Cool!
The ship as a whole though is not as credible as most of the other designs, for a couple of reasons.
The red cone at the nose is meant to be a radiation shield for an unfeasibly tiny atomic reactor in front of it.

2001 A Space Odyssey – Alternate Space Station Design.
My favourite film, without a doubt is the stunning “2001 A Space Odyssey”. Even all these years after its release, it still manages to look credible and futuristic.
I have now finished the model of the alternate design for the 2001 Space Station. This mesh is based on sketches in the excellent book “The 2001 File” by Christopher Frayling. The bulk of the book is the design sketches by Harry Lange that were done for the spacecraft concepts used in the film.
The sketches were basic, so I added lots of details from the design actually used in the film.
I’ve also made a short animated video to show it off, I recommend watching in HD if possible!

Giza-tron video!
This was done before the second TRON film came out. I always really liked the bright edges look of the first film, and decided to see what I could do with that approach.
The theme was inspired by my mate Pete Williamson and his band “Anubis”, an Egyptian space rock sort of thing.
Sound track done with Sonic Fire Pro again. Main animation done in Lightwave 3d.
