Just wondering how you would model this?

[AFK_Matrix]

I am going back to my 3rd Year University project to remodel and enhance it and am just wondering how you would model this dome structure? It is hollow inside, it is a cladded sturcture and on one of the domes it has windows in it.

 

I have attached some pictures of what I am trying to create.

 

Thanks.

split those pictures up and place them in your viewports to use like you would use blueprints, if you don't know how to do that then i suggest you search tutorials on setting up blueprints and also tutorials on car modelling, as the process would be the same

I would create a sphere object, adjust the number of divisions to match, add 2 slice modifiers, adjust the polygons' material ID's (1 for cladding, 2 for glass), create & apply a multi-subobject material, add a FFD modifier to adjust for the dome's less than perfect spherical shape, and last add a shell modifier.

 

I can't see the trusses well enough to comment so I assume it's just the dome cladding your inquiring about.
