Hi Richard, That technical manual looks pretty good doesn’t it! I’ve already pre-ordered a copy and having gone through some of the same modelling process myself, I’m really curious to see how they’ve tackled the various challenges. There is so much variation and inconsistency in the TV show that any two people are always going to interpret things slightly differently.

As far as new additions to the VR project goes, I’ve added a bunch of new props in the form of cases and scanners which you can see here: https://www.eagletransporter.com/forum/threads/space-1999-environments-in-virtual-reality.165121/page-3

More exciting than this though, is that I’ve finally started on the interior of the Eagle Passenger Pod. It’s always a difficult process to establish scale and correct proportions but I think I’ve finally cracked it and my perspective photo matches are mostly accurate to within 10mm or so. Originally I had this deluded idea that I might be able to make the interior fit inside the model of the Eagle that I’ve already done but knowing now what I do, that was never going to happen. So my plan now is to add a new scene to the VR project that includes the Travel Tube, the Antechamber, and the Passenger Pod interior in the same relationship that they had on set during the making of the TV show. At this rate I might have a new update ready in about 3 or 4 weeks, probably at around the time of the release of the Moonbase Alpha Technical Operations Manual :-)

What a coincidence Richard, just last week a friend of mine asked me if it would be possible to create a SteamVR Home environment using the Main Mission 3D model. He sent me a 3D rendering as an example but when I asked him where the image came from he couldn’t remember. I ended up doing a Google Reverse Image search to locate the author and it ended up being Tenement’s DeviantArt web page :-)

His stuff is so much more artistic than mine. It is difficult for me to add grunge to my 3D models which would give it a far more believable look and feel. Boy would I love to see Tenement’s models in VR but I guess everybody has their own medium that they like to work in :-)
