Gigastructures
Gigastructures are highly theoretical, artificial, and gigantic constructions. The limits and definitions of these structures vary considerably, from the size of small asteroids to those that span galaxies. This is a collection of gigastructures that I want to see in reality. All works were modeled, rendered, and processed in Blender, with some works using particle effects made in EmberGen.
