Been teaching myself Rhino using tutorials and such for the past year. I think this is 90% done but wanted to show it off!

Hello Lee Wilson,
Quite Nice.
A tip [ just in case this matters and unknown to you] I learned for centering the rotation axis for a turntable render is to in the active viewport run _Extents [Zoom Extents]. Assuming a case that is what you are after i.e. there are cases where I want to focus on an area of the model so a render as you have now is better. The fact that a part of the model gets cut out does not matter because what does matter is that the visualization “focuses an area of interest” whereby this area is seen at a number of zoom amounts.
Thank you,
Andy

wow, awesome project!
pushpull in v8 is a god send for this type of hard surface modeling.. project all your details onto the surface with curves and push pull your way to detail heaven.

awesome… keep going!
Really nice work thanks for sharing.
I wanted to share a few tips for getting more proficient at rendering.
You might investigate learning to export the rhino model to either blender or unreal.
Why because they have real cameras settings you can learn and use, Rhino doesn’t, thus making really becoming good harder. Also don’t you want to animate this beast, that’s not going to happen in rhino.
Look at the rhino gallery and look at the best renderings, notice they are almost all by people who really understand photography and lens settings. If you’re not proficient at that go to Youtube and watch videos on what makes good cinematography and which lens and camera settings are used.
Investigate how to use lighting and hdr maps to light your models. You can also find great tutorials on Youtube for this subject.
Investigate how to texture map and unwrap your textures as well as how to paint pbr materials. You might give substance painter a trial just to get a taste. And use blender too since it has awesome free tools for uvw mapping and texturing.
Watch the Rhino, blender and unreal tutorials on how to make cinematic and better renderings including camera settings and lens types.
Definitely watch any rhino/cycles videos and see how far you can push things. The reason I advocate outside rendering is Rhino/cycles is slow and doesn’t have real world camera settings outside of primitive settings but you can achieve great results with more knowledge.
Also Vray for rhino or bella would really get you better renderings if you want to stay in rhino but come with a cost.
