Description
Here's a screenshot of what the Observatory looks like inside. I'll be adding the ladders and structure later, I've been working on the lighting and the metal texture to try and match the original game so its taking a while to get right. In this image you can see the interlacing joints that allow the Observatory to spin on its axis; this is why the lift sometimes rotates when you go up in order to align with its current orientation

I always build things in Myst to function as they do in the game so later on I can render them into videos to show the motion.

Edit (17/08/2012 ): The lights will need a bit of work geometry wise and need to face more towards the ground. Been working on getting the metal to look right too.
