I did a new version of the short video, Eagles over 2001 Moonscape.
* Fixed some minor technical issues.
* Better render quality.
* Brightened stars a little
* Lowest Eagle now passes behind foreground rock.
* Music added "Cloudless" by Cousin Silas.

Superb!
Getting stuck into the rebuild of the 2001 Orion, checking the old model.
The geometry is a GREAT fit to my references. So far I upscaled the texture maps, and killed a few bad polygons.
It clearly needs lots of bump maps replaced by geometry and normal maps though...

My old painting of a brown dwarf.
This view represents a moon of a brown dwarf being lit up by the sun-like star, which is second component of this star-brown dwarf system.

Today’s prompt in @spacetober_challenge is Star. I thought I’d share a digital composition that I ve created and use as part of my Sciart & science art workshop resources. Science outreach is one of my passions - the sharing of science knowledge through fun and creativity. #Spacetober #Sciart

The "Discovery" from 2001 at one point had tension cables along the spine, and large cooling vanes, (required for the nuclear engines).
Here's my take on that

This is some detail from the Elephant Trunk Nebula, a highly compressed globule of intersetllar dust and gases that is shaped by the winds from a massive triple star system HD 206267A. This is a region of star formation, with some stars beleived to be under 100,000 years old. (6hrs SHO, Oct 15) 🔭
