Hi, I don't want to make an exact replica of the photograph i just used this en some other photo's to get a feel of the thing i want to create. i will adjust the camera-angle when i'm almost done and when i have imported the ship into the scene. about the surroundings; I've made a sphere deleted half of it en mapped a granite onto the incandessence to create the stars/night -sky (which i still need to tweak) . did you mean by "mapping the dome", mapping the photograph to the dome because I want to model most of it en make less use of texturing. Anyways thanks for helping me out thusfar.
