The Radio Telescope

Hi, everyone. I hope you all doing well!
I’m pleased to post my recent project rendered with EEVEE.
It’s RT-32 Radio Telescope located at Irbene, Latvia.
I was focused to low poly modeling and grunge shading with some photos of rusty, corroded metals.
Also, added some normal maps that I made.
It’s been a month that I started to learn blender(I was C4D and Octane user.),
so it’s kinda rough but I’ll keep try for better results!
Take care everyone. Thanks!

How long has it been out of use? :neutral_face:

It’s still in use.

" Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Center is located in the village of Irbene, in a former Soviet army town, and is currently managed by the Ventspils University College’s Engineering Research Center. Here the 32-meter wide radio telescope - the RT-32, is being used for scientific purposes, and is the largest such telescope in Northern Europe and the eighth largest in the world. Another 16-meter wide telescope - the RT-16, is also in use.

Hi Kyiv_88… great work! I am wondering if there is 3D CAD model for this antenna. Or you may be able to make a 3D cad model if it doesn’t exist. Thanks
