I wanted to post here to thank Martin Hronský for releasing such a great rendering package for LDD! I finished my first MOC: Lego Docking Bay 327 for the UCS Falcon based on photos from Dave's awesome scratch built version as inspiration for my design. His set has ~10.5k parts with a working elevator. I wanted to keep the cost down, so my version has a static elevator and unfinished back wall from behind came in with a total of 7,780 parts for the arch and 7805 for the sloped gate versions. Pictures of Dave's set can be found at his MOC Page. I posted progress of my build at FBTB Forum The LDD files are at Rebrickable, with the sloped gate version loaded into their system and a PDF build guide. UCS Falcon LDD model used for test renderings is by Dan Jansen and available for download at Eurobricks Render time was between 5-6 hours on my 64 bit i7 Machine at 2560x1600. I suggest removing the transparent bricks around Luke's gunnery chair on the Falcon to save about an hour. I lost track how many renders I made testing various builds!

I made a few minor substitutions for parts that were not in LDD (i.e. antenna on roof of the support building) Higher Resolution Built Docking Bay 327 with the room background edited out: Higher Resolution
