recent visualizations?

Babylon 5 has a few interior shots of the cylinder. But as has been stated they are beginning to look a bit dated.
The end of season 2 in the episode "The Fall of Night" has some of the better ones.
From the commentaries it was expensive for them to do the interior shots of the cylinder so they didn't do too many and stuck mainly to corridor and room shots.

*The* Don Davis? I am honored. Your statement is certainly true of your paintings, which have a degree of realism that few others can match. All my favorite renderings of space settlements are yours; the best of them all, in my opinion, being the Stanford Torus interior: http://www.donalded avis.com/ BIGPUB/STANTRUS. jpg>

Still, I'm disappointed to hear that the L5 movie renderings are so poor. I'd hoped for the level of quality we get from the likes of Pixar and Idustrial Light & Magic. But I suppose that IMAX doesn't have the sort of budget that the big studios have.

Thanks very much for your response. I have admired your work for a long time.

Best regards,
