Star Wars models for DAZ
Images of available Star Wars models for your 3D rendering. Note that these are not downloads but, where possible, download links will be on the pages. Some are hi-res characters and clothing for G8 and G3 models, some are simple objects such as vehicles. I'm hoping this will be a fairly exhaustive look at both free and premium models available for Star Wars fans.

Description
Back to honing my skills at planet making.
This is the planet Potala, a creation of
; reading the below bio had me intrigued and loved the originality of this world; could not resist doing it. Here it is in its frozen glory.
For details, please see below.
Enjoy!
Potala: Named for the Winter Palace of Tibet high in Earth’s Himalayan Mountains, Potala is a planet in the Outer Member Systems encased in perpetual winter.
Miles thick glaciers extend across the poles well into the northern and southern hemispheres, leaving a small, nominally temperate band across the equator.
Even in this area, frequent snowfall is the norm, even during what would be regarded as the planet’s summer season.
The Chinese and Tibetian colonists who arrived in the Confederation years struggled for decades before constructing the massive domed cities that now litter the equatorial band, with some even built to withstand the encroachment of the winter glaciers.
Today, the climate-controlled, multi-tiered cities house nearly the entire population of two hundred million, with exception to the Tibetan Buddhist monasteries (constructed as traditionally accurate as is possible) that brave the climate as part of the tests of resiliency that the monks undergo, and as a testament to their ancestors who existed at the top of a world to find enlightenment.
A minor trade route branches off to reach Potala, but little beyond the essentials is imported, as Potalans treasure their self-sufficiency.

Now this is really interesting! There was obviously a huge Earth influence in the colonization of this planet- I'm surprised by the way Shogun pulled it off! The little bit about the Tibetan monasteries is neat, as well as the
nationality of humans on Potala; I like the concept of our traditions persisting even so far into the future like this! Must be the damn strength of humanity, ehehe
I've always loved these kinds of frozen worlds. They always seem to carry some kind of mystery, particularly in the way that you never know what may lurk beneath the ice covering much of their surfaces- this one is no
different, and it intrigues me just as much as any other. I have heard of this kind of thing happening- a cold world having a small habitable zone- and I love how you illustrated that idea. The little green strip of living things
across the equator is an awesome example of the will living things have to survive. It correlates and compliments the humans' culture, in a sense! Both are so frail, and so easy to remove, yet they still hold on in some way
or another
On top of that, I love how you capture the desolation in the glacial zones!
This is a gorgeous world with an equally gorgeous idea behind it (whether it was intentional or not)!
