I was reading a book by Arthur C. Clarke called Rendezvous With RAMA, and thot it would be cool to hav it floating around the sollersystem maby it could hav a texture inside aswell as out since its so big.

(four years later :) ) I too read it. Amazing. I thought draw it with 3DStudio Max, but.. the South Pole is a esthetics problem. It must seems as a vault of gothic cathedral. One axis and six spears with graceful buttress... much for me. One architect he can. The remain structure is very easy. Length: 25 miles. External Diameter: 12,5 miles. Internal diameter: 10 miles in North Pole; 9,5 miles in South Pole. Very much void space. One cylindric sea. I have was very much hours imaging Rama.

Juliux,

Sometimes an artist can be his own worst critic. I'm sure there are many people who would enjoy viewing the results of what you've done.

Loved the Rama series. Also would love to see this addon become real.
