Celestia Forums

I'm working on a model of the L-5 habitat, as designed by Gerard O'Neill.
i have played around with some particulates but the over all shape and dimensions are the same.
Ill have some pics In a few days when i feel confident that it looks good enough to show off. my biggest hurdle will be the textures, since i do not know much about applying textures materials and bump maps....
so any help would be appreciated.

also.creating SSC file will be interesting since the L-4 and L-5 points are 60 degrees for and aft or the moons orbit around earth. However the Orbit of the L-5 station is around That point and not in the lunar orbit its self.

there has been a number of views of my post but no one has replied, is any one intrested or am i wasting my time?

Hello, can you post some pics of this interresting project? Thanks, Jeam

Beowulf,

Finish the model son...

Certainly someone around here can help with the SSC and whatever
else you need to create an add-on.

Take care, Bob

the pics should be there.
please note the textures what there are of them are temps. The shuttles model's are from the Celesta add on found at Celesta motherload, they are for scale reference only.
I still need to finish the textures and ad more details.
Missing in these pics are the non rotating mirror above the station and the null gravity section for manufacturing located below the station.
what do you think so far?
hints tips back of hands?
