Model of the Valley Forge from the 1972 science fiction movie Silent Running by Douglas Trumbull.
Plot summary from IMDB: The film takes place in the not-so-distant future, at a time in which Earth’s plant life has been decimated. Only a few specimens of flora have been preserved, and are currently in space in a fleet of orbiting greenhouses. When orders from Earth are received to destroy the greenhouses, botanist and ecologist Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) can’t go through with it, and cannot persuade his three colleagues to help him save the plants, so he makes other “arrangements”.
The model was created in Blender while aiming to keep poly-count and geometry details at minimum levels (in favor of good real-time performance). Thanks to Mark Dowman (Lunadude) and DeviantArt-user unusualsuspex for providing orthogonal 3D views and photos that inspired this model 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 180500 polygons.
