SmokeyJoe Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hello, new here, thanks all for making it a relaxed, friendly, helpful community:icon_salut:Does anyone know where I can get hold of decent plans for an orrery? I want to build a working model in CG:) so they have to be relativly detailed.ThanksDom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I'd love to build an orrery from scratch. I think my engineering skills might be sadly lacking though.Actually, what I'd really like to do is make one in a steampunk style and actually power it using a small steam engine.James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeyJoe Posted May 5, 2012 Author Share Posted May 5, 2012 No way could I build one from scratch but cg that's a different thing , think I'm going to do the mechanism in traditional brass but have the planets, moons sun etc look as realistic as possible. Going to cover it in a sky dome too so the stars are correct(ish) as you move through the scene. I really like the steampunk idea, not thought about power source. Not strictly needed in CG but will add to the realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
