Enzmann Echolance Starship orbital shipyard
- Thread starter starbase1
- Start date
I must admit that I did think the speed of rotation was somewhat questionable for an object that gives the impression of being quite large.
Excellent work nonetheless.
Which LW version did you use btw? And how long did it take to render each animation?

Yup, it's very much about me checking the model, rather than an actual scene. Spinning would be very bad news!
The refs have it in more than one location, one in high Earth orbit and one at the Lagrange point beyond the Moon. For Earth Orbit the "plank" would align with the direction of travel, and tidal effects would result in Gravity being "upwards" which is one one ship is dangling up on tethers.
Done in 11.6
About 90 seconds for a 4k frame, (bought a nice powerful PC at the end of last year!).

Bought after I realised my laptop never suffered Windows corruption on power glitches like my desktop did. Should have bought one YEARS ago. (Plus I'm in Moldova, just over the border from Ukraine, and for a while power was flakier than usual...)
