    Congrats Francissimo for this map and your CC. A well deserved one for an amazing SF map.

    No thanks are needed Francissimo, you well and truly deserve it! It would have been a crime for this map NOT to be CC. It's bloody brilliant.

    I wish I could do stuff like this, but just looking at your WIP thread made my head throb. Apart from the mention of layers and blending modes it was so far above my head the discussion may as well have been taking place in the station you rendered!

    The map is beautiful overall, but it seems you’ve taken some design elements directly from Deep Space Nine, in particular the Commercial and Habitation rings. The Hanging Gardens module also seems to draw heavily from one of the ships from the Colonial Fleet in the new Battlestar Galactica.

    Yep that's right, i explained in the wip thread that i used elements from sketchup 3D wharehouse, including a part of the beautifull deep space nine station. The hanging gardens aren't from battlestar galactica but were a part of the valley forge from the movie Silent running. The sketchup part of the map was kinda like playing lego, i took various parts of existing models, cut them in pieces and put all this together.

    The only thing that excites me more than seeing an SF piece introduced as Cartographers' Choice is to see this particular map on the front page of the Guild. It's not just an extraordinary map, it's everything the space map should be, with all those believable details and, above all, amazing atmosphere. Congrats, Francissimo!
