When Vermin_King created his Mos Eisley diorama, I wanted to see if I was able to create the Lars homestead (aka Luke Skywalker's house on the desert planet).
The biggest challenge both in geometry and texturing was the dome. Until now I have been happily doing flat walls, slanted roofs and maybe a one directional curved surface like a cylinder column. I have built this BB-8 model some time ago but that was made by someone else, yet still a good way to get some experience with curved surfaces.
After a little research I started designing the model in Blender.
And a quick test rendering to see how it looks.
With the excellent paper model unfold and export tool I was able to quickly create this first test.
As you can see, it is a plain "outside surface" version. For this I just underglued the dome tabs to make it work.
I build my models usually in the right scale to match with these miniature figures. So when I put one next to the building, I wanted to make the roof come off so you can do, well whatever you or Gandalf would do, INSIDE the building :)
