Space Stations and Colony Buildings for Reallusion iClone

If, like me, you’re a hardcore fan of science fiction, you’ll be very excited when you see the content packs that Reallusion has recently released for iClone: Space Stations Vol 1 (11 stations) and Colony Buildings Vol 1 (11 buildings).

iClone 3.2C or above is required. Each item has been shrunk in size, so they are suitable for taking long and middle shots. Even better, each pack usually retails for $94.00, but each on is available for $59.95 until June 30th. That’s a 36% savings.

What I am looking forward to next is interior packs from the same artist(s) for the stations and the buildings. Do note that’s just me hoping for that, nothing has been announced, or even hinted at. It would just makes a lot of sense to me.

Star Trek: Aurora, p3

Set in the Trekverse, Star Trek: Aurora is an original “fully-animated CGI production” from Tim Vining. The series focuses on the exploits of civilian merchanters, rather than Starfleet officers.

Star Trek: Aurora follows the exploits of captain Kara Carpenter and her new (and only) Vulcan first mate T’Ling on their tiny merchanter cargo ship Aurora. This fully CG-animated movie is set just after the original Star Trek series in a lawless sector of space, where Kara and T’Ling engage in their marginal venture while trying to both turn a profit and stay out of trouble. Through a series of sudden dangers and escalating events, secrets are revealed and loyalties tested as our heroines learn dark truths about one another, and themselves, in an ultimate pursuit of justice–or is it revenge?
