I've started having a look into converting the sketchup models to povray format (povray is a high quality ray tracer), for the purposes of trying to produce some high quality renders (and possibly simple animations at a later stage). You can see my first stab at it here: http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/com…..module.png

The next stages on this would be producing some higher quality/more interesting material textures, then probably introducing a particle system to give the appearance of the booster firing.

I just chose this model as a starting point to fiddle around with, if there's one that people feel would be a better/higher priority one to focus on I'll be happy to switch to doing that one instead.


I'm interested in what you come up with as I'd like to build a few promo videos for the organization and the CLLARE/OHKLA projects.  I'd love to see any renderings or animations you're working on as they'd surely make great additions to the videos.  Shoot me an email/pm and we can discuss some ideas if you'd like.

I don't know where rpulkrabek has gone, but he is usually around more often than this, too.  


I am here. I have been actively reading my RSS reader to following what's happening. I have been really quite busy with work and other things to actually contribute, but hopefully soon I can. My thoughts of where I will proceed are more with the OHKLA design, such as determining what diameter and lengths to use and then the nozzle geometry. Also, I plan on adding to the design process with tools such as a Pugh Matrix and Morphological chart from given design objectives and constraints. More to come…
