Titan Flyover. A simulation showing a flight towards Titan - largest moon of Saturn - followed by a descent through its atmosphere and a flight over its surface. The liquid is not water - it's lakes of hydrocarbons such as methane and ethane.

Animation depicting a design for an orbiting space hotel in low-Earth orbit. The station has a diameter of 220 metres which, combined with a spin rate of two turns per minute, gives a spin gravity of 0.5g. Created in Blender.

Second of several animations depicting a design for an orbiting space hotel in low-Earth orbit. Created in Blender.

Artwork of an orbital ring around the Earth. This is a scientifically plausible structure that completely encircles the entire planet in a closed loop, upon which factories, hotels, etc can be constructed. Blender.

Animation of the interior of an O'Neill Cylinder, created in Blender. Apologies for the poor quality. Non-Pro account limitation.

Another animation showing the interior of an O'Neill Cylinder, made in Blender. This one depicts a twilight simulation.
