Another week, another pile of assets.  12 February: Modular Control Panel This, as should be obvious, is a modular control panel.  It is of Alliance/Void Pirate origin rather than alien.  I made it as a backplane and multiple plug-in modules of various shapes and sizes.  As someone who builds industrial automation and control systems, this… Read More »

This week focused on some pretty basic stuff.  5 February: Spotlight Assembly Our aliens, like us, sometimes want to use fancy lighting to display something.  This spotlight assembly is designed to sit in the corner of one of their rooms and cast a light beam on whatever it is they want to show off.  It… Read More »

Because this was a short week, I decided to do four small, fairly simple standalone models.  1 February: Beveled Mount This is a very basic small metal mounting doodad for a switch or button.  It’s just a decorative part to make a control of some kind stand out.  2 February: Yet Another Beacon Here we… Read More »

This thing has been fun and useful, so I’m doing it again.  Because February is spread over five weeks this year, I’m doing three seven-day semi-themed weeks and filling in the two short weeks with whatever.  As always, these are going to be LOD A. One of the classes I took stressed the idea of… Read More »

Hey, I did it again.  28 days, 28 models, and a few multi-part models that qualify as small terrain pieces.  Some are solid LOD A stand-in pieces at the very least, and they’ll get converted over to Unity for use in projects and prototypes.  Others, not gonna lie, are kind of useless or just plain… Read More »

And here are the final week's labors. 22 February: Fancy Crystal Formation Just a bunch of crystals all stuck together.  This is about two meters tall, so it’s suitable for a small obstacle.  23 February: Storage Tank with L-Shaped Access Platform This is based on an oil tank I saw at a railyard once.  It’s… Read More »

Week 3 completed! Have some more models. 15 February: Bunker and Tower Doors Basic metal doors.  They’re designed to slide to the sides (vertically for the lower tower door) when activated.  The surface detail is on there mainly to keep them from being basic textured cubes and to practice getting things lined up right in… Read More »

Week 1 completed! This is what I did. 8 February: Storage Tank With And Without Scaffolding Generic chemical storage tank for use in an industrial setting.  When I worked at the foundry we had a bunch of these lined up along one wall for various chemicals used around the shop, especially lubricants.  One of our… Read More »

Week 1 completed! This is what I did. 1 February: Big Ball Cactus It's a big ball cactus... By "big," I mean "three meters tall, half that across, and spines that can kill a man. When I upgrade it to LOD B, I'm going to spend a while screwing with the spines. Right now they're… Read More »
