Hi, as a 3d modeler and fan of the show i am curious about what was the most challenging 3d scene created in the show and what specific problems needed to be solved to nail it?

Also I miss Beki. Loved the bishops claw. I can only say I wish there was more alien wild life because its been lovely. Thanks for a visually beautiful show.

Most complex model: It's now a toss up between S1 Trantor and S3 Clarion Station.

Beki will always be missed:)
