Well I could have done none competing this week because I had something like this I was working on for a NASA project for mars living habitat competition a few years ago. :sweat_smile:
The habitat is on the right side little spheres imbedded in the rock. :yum:

LoL. :sweat_smile: Naa Mass.
Mars is a rocky red planet with dirt, but I went with rock formation and made the habitat inside of the rock formation.
The spheres are just the opening to the actual interer if the inhabitants which can go as big as is needed for living conditions.
Everything is custom made all the way to the atmosphere and the sun flare. :yum::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I forgot you won’t find any atmosphere it’s one of my personal atmospheres and so is the lens flare you won’t find it anywhere on the internet it all works in real time and when it is animated. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I might try to be in this one not really sure.
I might model the watch on my wrist and use a caliper for measuring if I do.
I’ll bring everything I can out if I do compete this week guys. :grin:
Everyone likes my watch. :relaxed:
And good luck wreath I’m in or not. :wink:
And I’m still in the early blender program like 2.91 I’ll have to upgrade my blender program and catch up to you guys. :yum:

Congrats! It is important to have a default cube on Mars, the origin of everything :sunglasses:
