Concept renderings? | Project planning and misc | Forum

Since it seems to be an established tradition here to make conceptual renderings of our vehicles in SketchUp (random aside: if we write ourselves too stringent a Social Contract with regards to only using free software, this would have to stop, which would be a little sad), I thought it would be nice if we had a simple rendering to put on the currently quite spartan OHKLA Wiki page.

I know we haven't discussed much about rocket design yet, but it seems fairly obvious what this is going to look like: long, thin, pointed nose, stabilising fins at the base.  We can always do later versions after we have decided more.

Very much appreciated.

If you have the time, I think it would be awesome to have one "external" rendering, with the rocket's "skin" on (maybe a CSTART logo and the text OHKLA on it) and one "internal rendering" with the "skin" off showing the internal hybrid rocket structure – just the same basic engine rendering you did for Selene, with the yellowish tank at the top and the pink fuel grain beneath it would be more than good enough.  Leave a small bit of space above the tank near the cone as a placeholder for avionics and parachutes.
