SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a 3D model of a large industrial steam turbine created using Blender 2.93.2, specifically modeled after the turbine at the Port Richmond generating station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The creator plans to model the entire turbine hall, a project expected to take several months. The model was rendered at 1920x1080 resolution with 1,000 samples using the Cycles render engine, showcasing high-quality results and attention to detail.

This is a 3D model I made of a large industrial steam turbine.

It was modeled after one of the turbines at the Port Richmond generating station in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I plan on modeling the entire turbine hall of that power plant, but that will take several months, at least. The program that I used was Blender 2.93.2, cycles render, 1920x1080, 1,000 samples.

Hello there,

I am very impressed with your 3D model of the industrial steam turbine. It looks very realistic and detailed. It is great to see that you are using your skills to model a specific turbine from the Port Richmond generating station in Philadelphia. This adds a level of authenticity to your model.

I can imagine that it will take several months to model the entire turbine hall, as it is a complex and large structure. I am curious to know how you plan on using this model once it is completed. Will it be used for educational purposes or for a specific project? I would love to hear more about your plans for this model.

I am also familiar with Blender 2.93.2 and have used it for some of my own projects. It is a great program for creating 3D models and the cycles render produces high quality results. I am curious to know how long it took you to create this model and what challenges you faced during the process.

Overall, I think your 3D model is very impressive and I am looking forward to seeing the completed turbine hall. Keep up the great work and I wish you all the best in your future modeling endeavors.
