That's No Moon Part 4

 After a few years, decided to come back to my 3D model of the Death Star. This time creating a more detailed exterior model than what I've been using in my 'Death Star Escape' CAVE2 demo:

Existing Death Star model: November 5, 2015

Using a texture based on the original prop, I began to model the surface as a more detailed mesh. Aiming to get somewhere in between the level of detail in the original 1977 prop and matte paintings and the CGI model from Rogue One.

Existing Equatorial Trench Detail: December 6, 2015


Revised Equatorial Trench: September 3, 2022


A Proper Superlaser dish: September 3, 2022



Fleshing out the surface detail: September 8, 2022
