The idea I've been working on designing but so far unable to have results I am happy with is simple.... The Death Star.
Making circle rooms is relatively easy, making pyramids is easy but time consuming, making upside down pyramids is slightly harder just more time consuming....
My big issue is making a good looking sphere when it shows up in the different 3D visualizers out there. I've looked at countless "lego-sphere" builds, but they normally cheat and use pieces sideways. It always appears to me that the visualizers make squares slightly taller than they are wide which causes spheres to just not look right.
My plan is to have the lava pumped to the top of the deathstar because it seems dwarfy, and also to have the laser cannon have flowing lava/water so that looking at it straight on you can see a star shape as if the laser was coming straight at you. I guess there might be potential to build a clear glass "channel" that lets the lasers go outward from the sphere with applied pressure
My end goal would have most likely an entrance that is at ground level and have the entire fort be inside the deathstar. Potentially with multi-level hanger bays with TIE fights are such inside them.
Anyone have any tips on making spheres that look spherical vertically not just horizontally?
Or maybe a better visualizer that might be easier to get spheres in?
