Pictures of the Secret Broadcast Base

These are a bunch of raytracings of the base created using the POV freely available raytracer. I haven't found a modeller that I like, so these scene files are all hand built. PPM files are the best quality, but usually aren't directly viewable in a browser.

• This is a long view of the base from the outside. Look for the internal lights on the smooth crater floor, reflections of the stars and mountains in the dome, and a reflection of the tower in the relfecting pool.

• Here's a closeup of the reflecting pool. You can see the veins in the marble, and that the surface is very polished. In the PPM, you can also see that the marble has a pink tinge to it.

• This is the view from one of the windows in the curved wall. You can see off into the distance, as well as another view of the pool. The polished chrome collar of the dome is hard to make out, because it's effectively a mirror; the out-of-place block is the reflection of the curved wall. You can also see into the offices on the other side and see a ceiling and floor.
