If not yet, this will bound to do the job.

Challenge: Create a detailed vector of the Death Star II.

Estimated Completion Time: I have no [m'kay] idea.

Have a preview and observe my journey as I spiral towards insanity:

Note that the circle is just the outline and, will slowly but surely, be refined to the proper look of the Death Star II.

Here is the 5k x 5k resolution version (It's a vector, why not?): http://i.minus.com/ikqn2WxgE7453.png

Looks like an incomplete bowling ball.

Don't forget the snack bar located on level 22. Imperials get cranky when they don't get a snack break.

uhmm lol, kinda reminds me of two people. One of them made a working 16 bit computer model and the other made a 1:1 scale of the starship Enterprise (both made inside Minecraft)

I would say, having a sex change isn't as insane. :whistling:

No worries, I'll make sure to add it. :punk:

Such a classic. :lol:

Ok, I decided to create a consistent update on the project to note the progress and get some feedback.

Here is the grid I made to use as a guide for the beam sections of the outer hull.

The higher resolution image can be found here: http://i2.minus.com/i5Rm1LeWWIXr2.png

Right now, there are about 1000 paths going horizontal and 1000 paths going vertical.
Is this grid density sufficient or would you recommend to double the amount of paths for each side? Any feedback is appreciated.
Having 4 times as many paths for each orientation has cause consistent crashes for the Program, so I'm actually nearing the limits of what my PC can handle.

Fun fact: Adobe Illustrator (Program I'm using to make this) was using 10 GB RAM for this procedure.
File Size is now 181 MB in size.
