High-poly 3D model of the Chinese Space Station Tiangong with core module Tianhe and spacecraft Shenzhou at a scale.

The model is based on publicly available photographs and drawings.

It is divided into several parts. Tianhe: Docking Hub, Laboratory Compartment, Living Compartment. Shenzhou: Habitation module, Descent module, Instrument compartment.

Textures consist of 13 images. Tianhe: laboratory compartment and living Compartment are made with a resolution of 4096x4096 including the Normal maps. Docking hub and solar panel is made in a resolution 2048x2048 including the Normal map for docking hub. Shenzhou: habitation module, descent module, instrument compartment are made with a resolution of 4096x4096 including the Normal maps for habitation and instrument modules. Solar panel is made in a resolution 2048x2048.

Textures are made in .psd format all details and UV-mesh are in separate layers. Normal maps in .jpeg format.

The movement of the antenna, manipulator and the deployment of the solar panels are animated using the tag XPresso. For each created null object with animation control.

Geometry allows the use of Subdivision surface for some large parts. Tianhe: the number of polygons in Cinema 4D is 37700, in the format .obj the number of polygons is 109000. Shenzhou: the number of polygons in Cinema 4D is 22500, in the format .obj the number of polygons is 51900.

All images are obtained in standard physical rendering without using Photoshop.
Additionally made settings Ambient occlusion.
Renders with the Earth from my model ID 1696502.

BONUS: Stars & Milky Way material!

Warning: fbx, obj formats do not have materials.
