HA! Nice one DJ! xD

On the topic, though, I actually do wonder if anyone has even attempted this thing.

DJ, men drink beer out of straws in the 21st century now...I know i do it sometimes...take a pitcher of beer and put a straw in it...get it down faster LOL

I think it will be very hard to see a good model of the Epsilon IX monitoring station...we only really saw it as a lit graphic in the very beginning of TMP...i have never really seen any schematics of it on the web either...

Is it not that station in the first TMP film? Or perhaps someones idea of a TMP Argus array?

Not so sure myself. It's very angular, which means less polys. Curves are what kills poly counts. That's a bunch of triangles. The schematics are too low res to tell much from though.

Agreed does not look to bad in the model phase, could be a bitch to texture.

very interesting...nice to see some schematics for it...i would have thought it was a station similar to regula 1/orbital office...didn't realize it was just a flat station like th Argus array... except the argus array was unmanned...

Does BC handle transparencies.. you could probably get away with a four poly plain and just draw it on with a high res texture its so flat.

@DJ doesn't everyone use straws for their beer  :facepalm:  must just be me  :doh: lol

That could also easily be one of the other Epsilon stations (I-VIII, X+)
